What is prozac prescribed for exactly

You would be better off eating a healthy diet and getting some exercise. That will cure depression. Also, some depression is normal, and should be felt e.g. when someone you care about dies, or you lose your job. People nowdays are in too much of a hurry to take a pill for everything.

If you are going to take such heavy and potentially dangerous meds, you should be seeing a doctor.

Taking any medication without a Doctor is prescription is just plain stupid. First of all, you're obtaining & using this drug illegally. Do u want to face that in the police station or in court.

Secondly, how do u know what dose is adequate for you?
Are u aware it reacts differently with each person who takes it? Did u know once u start taking it u must be slowly taken off or u could have drastic side effects?

How does this sound so far? What interaction will it have if u r taking any other prescriptions? I could go on & on.
The mere fact that you're not sure what it is exactly for.is the scariest thing. Are u influenced by what ur friends say - that easily? Take a good look at yourself. If you're depressed then see a professional. Why take medication u know nothing about & might not even need.

While u r taking fluoxetine/prozac u may need to be monitored for worsening symptoms of depression and/or suicidal thoughts at the start of therapy or when doses r changed.

Yes. medicine is prescribed in doses according to ur age, size, medical history etc.. which is why a dr does it. You should never take anything from a friend that is prescription. I would suggest seeing a dr ASAP if u think u need it. It could take prozac a few weeks to kick in before u see changes. Prozac is a drug that increases ur serotonin levels. It makes the messages transfer from ur brain to the rest of ur body more & faster. When u r depressed, these messages sometimes stop because the chemical is not produced.
