A member asked:
I would like prozac (fluoxetine) not for depression but to lower my sexdrive. could i lie to my dr. and get some?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why lie?: It is an off label but legitimate use for prozac (fluoxetine). However, bipolar disorder does need to be ruled out as a cause of your elevated sex drive or else Prozac (fluoxetine) could actually make it worse. Please be very straightforward with your physician and i think you will be rewarded with good results. Best wishes.
