Prozac (fluoxetine) is an antidepressant used to treat depression and several other psychiatric disorders.

Prozac belongs to the Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) class of drugs. It is one of the first SSRIs developed, and is arguably the most widely-recognized brand name among antidepressants. Used by millions of patients around the world it has a proven track record of effectiveness and, if used as directed, is widely regarded as safe. Since its patent expired in the early 2000s it has also been possible to buy Prozac in less-costly generic formulas.

Conditions Treated with Prozac

Prozac does not see as many applications as many other SSRIs, but it is highly-effective at what it does treat. It is also sometimes used in conditions unrelated to mental health. Patients most commonly buy Prozac for:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Post-traumatic stress disorder
• Bulimia nervosa
• Binge eating
• Obsessive compulsive disorder
• Premenstrual dysphoric disorder

Prozac tends to be more high-energy than other SSRIs; individuals who suffer from low energy or who find other SSRIs cause fatigue or drowsiness may find Prozac a good choice. On the other hand, individuals who tend to be high-energy or who have difficulty sleeping may not want to buy Prozac. Other SSRIs, like Celexa or Paxil, among many others, are more likely to have a mild sedative effect.

What to Expect from Prozac

Prozac is usually administered via tablet, taken once or twice per day, morning and afternoon. Food is optional. Treatment is similar in all mental health conditions for otherwise healthy adults:

• Start with 20 mg per day for at least four weeks.
• If no improvements are seen, dosage may be increased in 20 mg increments every four weeks, up to 80 mg per day.
• The majority of patients find 40 to 60 mg per day to be effective.
• Do not exceed 80 mg per day without explicit doctor instruction.

Dosage will likely need to be adjusted for patients taking other medications or who have other medical conditions. Age, weight, and other individuals variables may also factor into dosage.

Some patients notice improvements shortly after starting treatment, but it usually takes about four weeks for full benefits to be felt. Patients using Prozac report feeling more energetic, improved and more stable mood, improved mental clarity and ability to focus, and feeling more in control of thoughts and feelings.

Treatment may continue for as long as it provides benefit; many patients take Prozac for years. Treatment with any SSRI should not end abruptly; withdrawal symptoms can be very disruptive, including headaches, severe nausea, sweating, difficulty balancing, dizziness, difficulty sleeping, and, in rare cases, hallucinations. Speak with a doctor about a discontinuation plan; dosage should be gradually lowered over several weeks.
