A member asked:
What chemical properties and mechanisms of action make prozac (fluoxetine) more "stimulating" than other anti-depressant drugs in the same class?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Serotonin 2C: The agonist activity of fluoxetine at 5ht2c receptors likely explains some of the positive and negative stimulating aspects of treatment with fluoxetine in terms of appetite, activation and anxiety etc. However everyone is different and "your results may vary ". Fluoxetine is not "stimulating" for everyone.
