Dr. John Moranville answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Oxactin?: Don't know what oxactin is. Perhaps you misspelled it. What specific side effects of fluoxetine are you referring to. Talk to your prescribing doctor. Perhaps an alternative antidepressant may be indicated if side effects are intolerable.

I read Lithium Orotate can help prevent memory loss/Alzheimers. I have been taking Prozac 20 for many years. It was prescribed for PMDD. I am 60 yo and post menopausal so may not need Prozac. Should I wean off and take L. Orate instead?
