Prozac/fluoxetine is: an antidepressant that may help with depressed mood and with anxiety. The onset of response should begin within the first two weeks and then prescriber will adjust dose based on response and side effects. Cognitive behavior therapy, interpersonal therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy are all helpful in the treatment of binge eating disorder and anxiety disorder. Best regards for good health.
