Dx w/ dysthymia, affected by chronic pain. on prozac (fluoxetine). seems like slippery slope. longterm, am i likely to need more psych meds b/c i'm on on prozac (fluoxetine)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Being on prozac (fluoxetine): does not increase need for psychotropic medications. I would strongly encourage you to also use nonpharmacologic approaches such as Cognitive behavioral Therapy.
