These drugs tend to cause less sedation and have different side effects to older antidepressants.
Fluoxetine or Prozac elevates mood, increases physical activity and restores
interest in everyday pursuits. Prozac is used to treat depression , to reduce
binge eating and purging activity ( bulimia nervosa) and to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Fluoxetine is broken down slowly and remains in the body for several weeks
after treatment is stopped.
re doing what you need to do to lose the weight. The majority of the fluoxetine will be excreted in a few more weeks, so just be patient and continue eating right and exercising.

I've just started up fluoxetine (prozac) for the second time and am having trouble functioning.
Does anyone know when they started to feel ANY relief from anxiety?
also, I really need to gain some weight back so does fluoxetine give anyone an INCREASED appetite?
Thank you for your help!
Also, I'm taking it at night... do any of you think that is a bad idea?
Hypothyroidism is a much more likely candidate to explore..that should be treated, and in addition, look to the possibility that you are still an emotional eater dealing with emotional issues that you should address directly rather than medicate.
Increased sweating is a common side effect of Prozac (Fluoxetine is the generic for Prozac so it is the exact same thing). For most patients the sweating settles down after a month or two after start of therapy...but not for all. Some patients that struggle with the sweating issue with take their Prozac at bedtime to try to minimize this side effect, but even that doesn't always work. Keep in mind that there are other anti-anxiety/depression choices out there if you are willing to try.
Chemically, the fluoxetine hydrochloride (prozac is the original trademarked term but the patent's expired so it can be made generically) ought to be identical, regardless of its makers' labelling, colouring, packaging (as a tablet or capsule).
Prozac has been generic for a very long time, there are several companies now making generic versions. Precisely which were your before and after brands of generic prozac (fluoxetine hydrochloride)?

I've been taking Fluoxetine (generic Prozac) for a few years now and about 6 months ago I upped my dosage. My sex drive on the lower dose was already low, but now it's almost non-existent. At first it wasn't a problem because I haven't been seeing anyone, but now that I am I would really like to try and fix this problem.
Since I'm female feel like this is going to be a more difficult process.
Would anyone know of any supplements that can help this side effect??
I have been on both citalopram and prozac but citalopram was longterm weight gain, dry mouth and headaches and prozac major short term weight gain. Came of prozac for that reason after only a few months and wonder if it would've settled with time, or go back to the one i was on for 12 years but had some side effects including weight gain.
Doc says my last option is mirtazapine but it is also an appetite stimulator.
I've had depression for some time and was prescribed fluoxetine a few months ago. In the second and third week of taking it I experienced what I can only describe as mild euphoria and a sort of agitation- not being able to sleep, restlessness and the shakes- which was not unpleasant because of the euphoric feeling that accompanied it.
Hi i am on day 4 of fluoxetine and feel awful. My thoughts and anxiety have got worse, is this normal at the beginning? I want to give them time to work. Also physically i totally ache, especially my back and neck, as if ive done a really hard workout. I have also had a headache and blurred vision. Is this side effects?
That most likely explains your symptoms more so than the Prozac. Often, at the tail end of a taper down, Prozac will be used to help when withdrawal is bad because it's considered easier to stop taking, but that's only at the very end of the taper. So you're probably suffering from Zoloft withdrawal because your doc took you off it abruptly instead of tapering.
I replied to someone's question about this, but I think it's an important observation to share. Recently, there's been many published articles linking antidepressants with antibiotic-resistance, especially Prozac (Fluoxetine). Not sure if there's a connection between other medications, but I was on Prozac a couple years ago. After I stopped using it, my PATM reactions began. Could this be one of the causes?
