Prozac.
Prozac (fluoxetine) is an efficient selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor used for obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, premenstrual dysphoric disorder symptoms, panic attacks, as well as some eating disorders, but your doctor may also recommend it for other conditions caused by the imbalance of serotonin in the brain. Before starting the treatment, tell your health care provider if you have heart disease, a recent history of heart attack, diabetes, liver disease, or seizures. Also make sure to mention any medications you are using at the moment – especially medications for seizures, digoxin, medications for migraine headaches, other antidepressants, medications for anxiety, antidepressants, anticoagulants, insulin or oral medications for diabetes, sedatives, sleeping pills, tranquilizers, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or lithium. Doing so will help you to avoid interactions and make sure your treatment is both safe and efficient. Taking Prozac can be sometimes associated with a number of mild side effects, especially at the beginning of the treatment – such as sore throat, drowsiness, changes in sex drive, weakness, nervousness, weight loss, nausea, loss of appetite, or dry mouth.
