Lovan effects: Fluoxetine is reported as an ingredient of lovan in the australia which is also the ingredient in prozac, prescribed for the treatment of depression. It is not a sleep medication. On the contrary, fluoxetine may cause sleeplessness and abnormal dreams. Please see a psychiatrist for diagnosis of your condition, need for lovan, its side effects, and treatment of your condition and sleep problem.
