A member asked:
I need doctor's advice on using fluoxetine for depression?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Please don't self-: Treat without medical supervision. Fluxetine (prozac) is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor which can be used to treat depression (and other conditions). It can be effective (especially when combined with some form of talking therapy). Please talk with your doctor to obtain more information. Take care.
