A member asked:
Are there alternatives to prozac (fluoxetine)? and do they work as effectively?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Yes, there are many medications that are as effective as prozac (fluoxetine). Because prozac (fluoxetine) is an older medication it has more side effects than some of the news medications. It also depends upon the person, some medications work better for some people than for others. If you are on prozac (fluoxetine) but having side effects talk to your doctor about trying a newer medication.
