Fluoxetine (Prozac) Without Prescription

  • Generic name: Fluoxetine hydrochloride
  • Brand name: Prozac, Prozac Weekly, Sarafem, Selfemra
  • 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 antidepressant that will work is a difficult task. To make the right decision, particularly if you intend to get Fluoxetine without prescription, you should consider the following:

  • Fluoxetine has a slower onset of effect than other SSRIs or SNRIs. So, in situations such as in severe depression, when the fast therapeutic effect is particularly important, this antidepressant may be inappropriate.
  • Frequently it causes headaches, nervousness, anxiety and insomnia. Fluoxetine is unsuitable 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.

Warnings

  • It should never be combined with antipsychotic thioridazine (Mellaril) due to the risk of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. Minimum of 5 weeks should be allowed between stopping Fluoxetine and starting thioridazine.
  • 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 improvement in your depression. For obsessive-compulsive disorder, the full effect may take 5 weeks to appear.
