What is prozac prescribed for exactly

Need u really ask? Is not it blatantly obvious that it is dangerous? Most people avoid taking medication unless it is absolutely necessary! Not because their friends tell them to! Prescription medications r called prescription medications FOR A REASON. You need to be diagnosed by a health professional, not ur friends!

Prozac like ANY medication has side effects. Ranging from common less serious side effects, to rare but serious side effects. You should never take medication with out a prescription from a doctor.

I would stop taking it straight away & seek help from a medical PROFESSIONAL (someone who has a MEDICAL qualification).

Prozac is prescribed for depression by a Dr. I do not think it is wise to take without a prescription from your Dr. They will be able to give you the antidepressant that is best suited to you and your symptoms. There are many different antidepressants out there. See your family Dr and talk to him/her about your symptoms. it is never a good idea to take someone else is prescribed medication.You may be affected by side effects, etc.

it is prescribed for depression. You need to have a doctor to monitor your reactions to the medication though. Even penicillin can be dangerous. Regards and be careful.

I can tell u that anyone that would tell u to take a drug w/o a Rx is not a real friend. Prozac is used for depression among other things & it has very bad side effects. Do not get me wrong it is a great drug & works very well but the dosage MUST be monitored. It can cause liver failure ( DEATH!!!) It can cause muscle weakness that can cause the heart to stop ( DEATH) ! Holy Cow, go to the Dr. Prozac is not that expensive if u have insurance. If not ur Dr. can fill out some paperwork on ur behalf & get the maker of ur Rx to donate the meds.

Prozac is for people who do not like to hang on to their money. If you are depressed then find the source and fix it. It can be fixed with a little common sense, worthy human interaction, a healthy diet and adequate excercize.

Yes, it is dangerous! (I think you know that.) You never, ever take any prescribed drugs without a prescription that was formulated especially for you.
From what I understant, that particular drug is usually meant to treat anxiety, depression, and mood swings. Stop taking it right now, you hear? Go see your own doctor.

It is prescribed for depression but I want to caution u to NOT TAKE ANY MEDICATION WITHOUT MEDICAL ADVICE! You may have a medical condition that may interfere with the medication, u may have an allergy that could interfere with it, the doseage may not be right for you, it may interfere with another medication u r on (have u not recently read the article on Anna Nicole Smiths son for example, & the mixture of meds he took)?
When u take antidepressants, SSRI's, & other medications such as these, u need to be under direct supervision of a MD. You should NEVER take them from someone else. When stopping some of these medications, there can be some SEVERE side effects. You need to talk with ur DR. immediately.

it is prescibed for anxiety/depression. Yes, it is dangerous. Alot of people have become dependent on it and when trying to take themselves off of it can lead to suicidal thoughts. It messes with your brain chemistry and that is not something you want to take lightly. If this has worked for you, get yoursel to a doctor and have him evaluate you. Then maybe he would agree to put you on it.
