PROZAC  (FLUOXETINE HYDROCHLORIDE):  Fluoxetine is used to treat depression, panic attacks, obsessive compulsive disorder, a certain eating disorder (bulimia), and a severe form of premenstrual syndrome (premenstrual dysphoric disorder). This medication may improve your mood, sleep, appetite, and energy level and may help restore your interest in daily living. It may decrease fear, anxiety, unwanted thoughts, and the number of panic attacks. It may also reduce the urge to perform repeated tasks (compulsions such as hand-washing, counting, and checking) that interfere with daily living. Fluoxetine may lessen premenstrual symptoms such as irritability, increased appetite, and depression. It may decrease binging and purging behaviors in bulimia.   FDA Approval Date: 2000-07-06 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 3  Panic and anxiety Difficulty to climax during sex; occasional gastrointestinal distress (heartburn); perhaps difficulty sleeping Rather quickly, Prozac "cured" me of Panic Attacks. However, I still get very depressed at times and anxious. It has given me a "normal" life back, but I wish I felt better, in relation to depression and anxiety. In summary, it helps a lot, enough for you to normally function in society (no more daily multiple panic attacks!), but it doesn't "cure" you of anxiety and depression. NOTE: Increasing dosage after some years did NOT work. M 43 10 years

 3  Depression/ Eating Disorder None really. When I increased the dose I noticed some nervousness, fidgiting all the time, etc. I haven't noticed a huge improvement in my depression or eating disorder. I just started taking wellbrutin to augment the prozac, so we'll see how that goes. F 17 8 months
 10/5/2001
 5  obsessive-compulsive disorder very minor. sometimes a little jittery maybe... maybe more headaches than before, but i am not sure... maybe bruise more easily?... helped me a LOT. Maybe because I expected it to (really wanted to get better, finally... first time I tried a drug and have heard from more than 1 person that it has helped them...) I wasn't able to look outside because of my OCD (saw all the scary things to check on)... then suddenly after starting the med it felt like the streets were cleaned of all the scary stuff... F 26 9 months
