Fluoxetine (Prozac) Without Prescription
- Generic name: Fluoxetine hydrochloride
- Brand name: Prozac, Prozac Weekly, Sarafem
- Drug class: Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs)
Fluoxetine hydrochloride (Prozac) is the earliest prescription SSRI antidepressant. It is used to treat depression, binge-eating and vomiting in
bulimia nervosa, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic attacks with or without agoraphobia, and premenstrual syndrome.
Fluoxetine has a unique long half-life of 2-4 days and its active metabolite,
norfluoxetine, has a half-life of 4-16 days. When you stop the treatment the drug naturally tapers over several weeks, and so produces less prominent withdrawal symptoms than other antidepressants.
Choosing the right antidepressant that will work is a difficult task. Here are several considerations that may help you, particularly if you intended to acquire Fluoxetine without prescription:
- Fluoxetine has a slower onset of effect than other SSRIs or SNRIs. So, in situations where the fast therapeutic effect
is particularly important, such as in severe depression, this antidepressant
may be inappropriate.
- Frequently it causes headaches, nervousness, anxiety and insomnia. Fluoxetine is not a perfect medication for people with insomnia or other sleep problems and tension or migraine headaches.
- Dose titration may be difficult due to the long half-life.
- Because Fluoxetine has anorectic and weight-reducing properties, the drug may be preferred in overweight persons or those concerned with antidepressant-induced weight gain.
Prozac, Fluoxetine
Should you buy Lilly brand Prozac or less expensive generic Fluoxetine, both versions are FDA-approved medication and will be shipped from within the US.

Drug Information
For sure, there are several benefits like money and time saving when you buy Fluoxetine or Prozac online. You can compare prices and purchase the medication without leaving your home. However, you should always stay in contact with your doctor when you strart the treatment with antidepressants, because their effects are not predictable sometimes.
How to take
- It should never be combined with antipsychotic drug thioridazine
(Mellaril) due to the risk of life-threatening drug interactions.
Minimum of 5 weeks should be allowed between stopping Fluoxetine and
starting Mellaril.
- Serious, sometimes fatal, reactions may occur
when Fluoxetine is used in combination with MAO inhibitors, or when
it is discontinued and an MAO inhibitor is started. You must
wait at least 14 days after stopping an MAO inhibitor before you
can take fluoxetine. You must wait 5 weeks after stopping fluoxetine
before you can take an MAOI.
- It may take 4 weeks before you feel any relief from your depression,
but the drug's effects should last about 9 months after a 3-month
treatment regimen. For obsessive-compulsive disorder, the full
effect may take 5 weeks to appear.
Prozac dosage
The doctor may start you from lower Fluoxetine prescription dosage if you are elderly, have liver disease, or are taking other
medications.
Depression
Adults: The recommended starting dose is 20 mg a day,
usually taken in the morning. If needed, the doctor may gradually
increase the dose up to a maximum of 80 mg a day. The usual daily
dose ranges from 20 to 60 mg. Daily doses above 20 mg should be
taken in the morning or in two smaller doses taken in the morning
and at noon.
Children 8 years and older: The usual starting dose is 10
or 20 mg a day. Children starting at 10 mg will have their dose
increased to 20 mg a day after 1 week. Underweight children may
need to remain at the 10 mg dose.
Bulimia
Adults: The recommended dose is 60 mg a day taken in the
morning. The doctor may start you at a lower dose and gradually
increase it over a period of several days.
Panic disorder
Adults: The recommended starting dose is 10 mg a day. After
1 week, the dose may be increased to 20 mg. If no improvement
is seen after several weeks, the doctor may increase the dose to
a maximum of 60 mg a day.
Premenstrual dysphoric disorder
Adults: The usual dose is 20 mg a day. The medication may be taken either every day of the month or only during
the 2 weeks before menstruation begins (the luteal phase of your
cycle). The maximum dose is 80 mg daily.

Quick facts
- Prozac was the first FDA approved SSRI, and hit the United
States market in 1987.
- Its long half-life may wipe off the effect of missed
or reduced doses and makes it easier to discontinue
than any of the other SSRIs.
