A member asked:
What happens if i take fluoxetine if i haven't been diagnosed with a mental illness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Fluoxetine (Prozac) will increase Seratonin levels in the synapse. If you are not depressed or anxious, you will probably not notice the effect. However, an excess of Seratonin can reach levels that are life threatening. This is called Seratonin Syndrome.
