A member asked:

I am taking prozac (fluoxetine) for depression. my wife and i are trying to have a baby and its not working. can it have to do with the prozac (fluoxetine)? what can be done

A doctor has provided 1 answer

FERTILITY: This is a bit more complicated not clear if Prozac (fluoxetine) affects male fertility. I am not sure if you have seen a fertility specialist to see if there are other causes and that ought to be the first step.
