Fluoxitine

[Pinkstarr]

Has anyone taken fluoxitine before? Recently got prescribed to it but I don’t know if I should take it or not. Want to know more about side effects and how it really works

Everyone responds differently to medication. Best way to know is to try. The Web or your doctor should have details about the chemistry of how it works.

Pinkstarr, I was on fluoxitine( Prozac) for a while. It didn't seem to do much for me, so it was replaced with another med.. You might want to give it a try for about a month and see how you react to it.

I was on Prozac for 10 years and it worked great for me, I sadly built up a tolerance to it and was then put on Zoloft, same thing happened, then it has been pill roulette I am now on Cymbalta 50 mg, 100 mg Desyrel, and 1300 mg Gabapentin, weaning off of Matazapine.

I have a woman friend who has been on Prozac for over 30 years and it does her well.

If you are going to give it a try, take it for at least 6 weeks, it takes the brain about that much time to adjust, I had very little side affects and they wore off quickly. When you get the prescription filled ask for a drug print out. Also go on line and check it out. I hope it works for you, it is one of the best SSRI's on the market.

I wish you well and peace of mind....Sending love/hugs.....Sprinkle 1......
