Description

Prozac (generic name: fluoxetine; brand names include: Flunil / Fontex / Ladose / Sarafem / Solax) is one of the world's most widely prescribed antidepressants; it has been prescribed for more than 40 million people worldwide.

Prozac was the first of a new class of drugs, called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), to be approved for use in the United States. This new type of medication helps patients with depression by increasing the availability of serotonin in the brain. Scientists believe serotonin affects many types of activity in the brain, including the regulation of mood.

Prozac was initially approved for the treatment of depression in Belgium in 1986 and in the United States in 1987. Since then, it has been approved and marketed in more than 90 countries.

The safety and effectiveness of Prozac have been thoroughly studied in clinical trials with more than 11,000 patients.

Prozac is prescribed for the treatment of depression. The symptoms of major depression may include changes in appetite, sleep habits, and mind/body coordination; decreased sex drive; increased fatigue; feelings of guilt or worthlessness; difficulty concentrating; slowed thinking; and suicidal thoughts.

Prozac is also prescribed to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Prozac is also used in the treatment of bulimia (binge-eating often followed by deliberate vomiting). It has also been used to treat other eating disorders and obesity.

In addition, Prozac is used to treat panic disorder, including panic associated with agoraphobia. People with panic disorder usually suffer from panic attacks - feelings of intense fear that develop suddenly, often for no reason.

Prozac is also indicated for the treatment of pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), a severe form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS).

This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.

Recommendations

Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take Prozac exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.

Prozac usually is taken once or twice a day. To be effective, it should be taken regularly. Make a habit of taking it at the same time you do some other daily activity. The usual starting dose is 20 milligrams per day, taken in the morning. Your doctor may increase your dose after several weeks.

It may take 4 to 5 weeks or longer before you feel the full benefit of Prozac, but the drug's effects should last about 9 months after a 3-month treatment regimen. For obsessive-compulsive disorder, the full effect may take 5 weeks to appear.

Continue to take Prozac even if you feel well. Do not stop taking Prozac without talking to your doctor. Your doctor will probably decrease your dose gradually.

If you miss a dose, take the forgotten dose as soon as you remember. If several hours have passed, skip the dose. Never try to "catch up" by doubling the dose.

Store this medicine at room temperature, away from heat and light.

Precautions

Before you start taking Prozac, tell your doctor if:

you are allergic to any medicines;
you are taking another medicine for depression called a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) or have been taking a MAOI within the last 14 days;
have kidney or liver disease, diabetes, have ever had fits or a tendency to bleed more than normal;
have or have had bipolar disorder;
are pregnant or intend to become pregnant, are breast-feeding or wish to breast-feed.

Ingredients

Active ingredient: fluoxetine.

Prozac User Reviews

pretty good prozac is a wonder drug though I did have side afects, one was no libido.

I didn't do a 180... but I did a 178! I started taking Prozac after having bad reactions to Wellbutrin, Lamictal, Topamax, and Celexa. Finally, I told my doctor that I would be happy just trying Prozac, because of the lack of side effects. I lost a little weight, but most of my extra weight had already been lost on Topamax. Anyway, Prozac has worked great! I still have manic episodes once in a while, but my depression problems have been eliminated! I would definitely recommend this to people who have had bad experiences with other bipolar meds... it can help you get stable.

Gave Me My Life Back I know everyone responds differently to every drug, but for me Prozac has given me new life. I had taken anafranil prior to prozac, and while it was effective, it didn't quite get me far enough. The doctor suggested I try prozac 12 years ago. I resisted at first, after all the nonsense things that were in the press about it. I finally went on it, and have been on it almost ever since. I've stopped and tried other things that theoretically didn't have the same side effect profile, but they never seemed anywhere near as effective for my ocd or my depression. I still suffer from some anxiety, but I take klonopin and xanax for that. Mostly manageable. As for prozac's side effects, they certainly are there. I have a certain amount of sexual dysfunction, constantly fighting weight gain, and my sleep is very broken up though I take the prozac first thing in the morning. The great parts though outweigh the bad. The horrible thoughts are still there, but aren't horrible anymore. They are manageable. I can think much more clearly and am far more organized and productive. Overall, I think the fact that I've been on it for 12 years indicates my overall satisfaction with prozac. I'm always willing to try something new to avoid the side effects, but for now, Prozac is wonderful.

Thank heavens I went on it. This was the second time I have been on this drug, only this time round I recognised when I needed it a lot sooner.
I was already on Amitryptiline for fibromyalgia, but started having panic attacks. I did think that one of the side effects was a great loss in libido, but after coming off the contraceptive pill it improved. I still have bad days, but not nearly so many and am gradually gaining controll. I was rather hoping that my feelings of being overwhelmed would go, but they haven't. However these feelings do not trigger panic any more. Since I have used antidepressants I also suffer less migraines and am now not so afraid of heights, and injections (another advantage to loosing the panics).
