A member asked:

Is there an alternative medication to lilly-fluoxetine that does not require a doctors prescription?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Fluoxetine (Prozac, Sarafem) is a medication for treating a variety of psychiatric symptoms. There are no over-the-counter medications to take its place. Psychiatric symptoms need in-person care with a doctor, before such medications are prescribed.
