Question

I'm taking prozac (20mg) and i seem to have lost that god darn leaflet explaining the positive effects of it. Can you please tell me? thanks

Answer 1

If you've lost the leaflet the best idea is to go back to the pharmacy where you got the prescription filled and ask for another one.

Answer 2

HI i have been on them for 6 months but 40 mg, I have found they have helped tremendously and have now returned to work, they certainly improve your confidence and take away any ill feelings you have about yourself, your do or pharmacy will give you a opy of the leaflet or look at this link..

Good luck and I hope your depression sorts its self out Must of us have been there and remember it takes at least 2 weeks to start working do not stop taking them unles your GP tells you to.If you want to talk online give me a shout, it sometimes helps to talk to someone who has been there.

Fluoxetine?

Answer 4

Prozac eliminates that feeling of impending doom. It is a selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor and are considered to be less sedating and have fewer antimuscarinic and cardiotoxic effects.

It can also enhance the effects of alcohol.
