Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Same Dr for Rx's?: There is an increased risk of some serious Prozac (fluoxetine) side effects so there needs to be coordination and dose adjustment if needed. Always be sure each Dr is fully aware of all other Rx's. Please do consider a good adolescent psychologist for best outcomes too. Therapy improves effects and lessens need for drugs.
