Go back to MD.: Prozac (fluoxetine) is prescribed for depression. Did your prescriber tell you why he chose this medication for you? We don't usually prescribe medications for minor depression. Sometimes, a short course of cognitive behavior therapy will help. If the depression interferes with your ability to function because it impairs your sleep, appetite and energy levels, then we will prescribe medications like prozac (fluoxetine).
