A member asked:
Is prozac (fluoxetine) fast acting then citalopram? would prozac (fluoxetine) cause less side effects then the citalopram?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: Prozac (fluoxetine) is not faster or slower acting than any other antidepressant. They all take about the same amount of time. There is no quick fix.
