COVID 19: See: Antidepressant fluoxetine (Prozac) suppresses replication of SARS-CoV-2 REF: https://www.news-medical.net/news/20200616/Antidepressant-fluoxetine-(Prozac)-suppresses-replication-of-SARS-CoV-2.aspx. A German study does suggest that the fluoxetine can suppress replication of virus but it is not involved with re-uptake of serotonin. I will look forward to more studies on this.
