This : This is very common practice for many doctors. Others may lean toward hormone replacement or both but honestly every doctor is different. So to answer your question again it is "normal" for a doctor to prescribe Prozac (fluoxetine) in this situation. I encourage you to ask questions, be informed, and advocate for yourself at all times. Good luck.

Work with your doc : Menopause usually occurs around age 52. As you are a lot younger, you may have experienced menopause through surgery (hysterectomy) or other medical reason. Sometimes, it is helpful to use antidepressants as women adjust to the changes of menopause.
