Fluoxetine Drug Uses

Fluoxetine is a drug used medically in the treatment of depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bulimia nervosa, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, and many other disorders. It is a psychotropic drug for oral administration.

How Taken

Fluoxetine usually is taken once or twice a day. To be effective, it should be taken regularly. Make a habit of taking it at the same time you do some other daily activity. It may be 4 weeks before you feel any relief from your depression, but the drug's effects should last about 9 months after a 3-month treatment regimen. For obsessive-compulsive disorder, the full effect may take 5 weeks to appear.

While taking this medication, you may feel dizzy or light-headed or actually faint when getting up from a lying or sitting position.

Hundreds of thousands of people with moderate depression or anxiety have been put on powerful anti-depressants unnecessarily, the country's most senior medical experts will warn tomorrow.
Serious concerns about the overprescription of antidepressants such as Seroxat and Prozac will be spelled out by the two bodies regulating the safety and use of medicines in Britain.
They will advise that for people with mild to moderate depression, or with moderate anxiety, they may be better off seeking other treatment such as therapy or even daily exercise.
After months reviewing the international data on the drugs, known as SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors), the government's drugs regulator, the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, has concluded that GPs are prescribing far too many pills for people who do not have a serious clinical condition.
They will warn doctors they need to think 'long and hard' before putting patients on the medication.
At a press conference tomorrow, Professor Kent Woods, mental health tsar Louis Appleby, and the chief executive of the National Institute for clinical Excellence (Nice), Andrew Dillon, will give their reasons for the warning.
It is expected thousands of people who are on the medication may want to come off it following tomorrow's announcement, but the experts will warn it is vital that they initially contact their doctor to talk about it. Anyone coming off SSRIs quickly can go through acute and dangerous withdrawal symptoms and become suicidal and paranoid.
Professor Woods will out line the findings of the review alongside the publication of new Nice guidelines to the NHS on the treatment of depression and anxiety.
Seroxat, the best-selling anti-depressant in the UK, will be described tomorrow as not suitable for every patient who is suffering from mild to moderate anxiety. The move comes after The Observer revealed last month that its manufacturer, GlaxoSmithKline, was marketing it to doctors specifically as a treatment for 'social anxiety disorders'.
Every year in Britain, some 13 million prescriptions are written out for SSRIs, such as Prozac. The drugs have enjoyed popularity over the past decade because they are much safer, with fewer side effects than the older tricyclic drugs which could easily kill patients who overdosed.
But concerns about SSRIs have emerged in recent years. Last year the government banned their prescription to people under 18s and they have been linked to a spate of suicides in young people in both the UK and the US.
European health authorities have also warned that extra care should be taken in prescribing SSRIs to people under 30.
The drugs, which were designed specifically to counter depression, have also been subjected to intensive scrutiny by the current health select committee investigation into the influence of the pharmaceutical industry.
MPs on the committee have heard concerns from campaigners that the anti-depressants were prescribed too liberally, with the result that millions of people are taking them with little benefit. Introduced to the UK 15 years ago, anti-depressants have been prescribed for a raft of lesser mental conditions such as anxiety disorders and phobias.
Concerns about the pills' addictive nature have led to fears that patients find it difficult to come off them.
Professor David Healy, a psychopharmacologist at Cardiff University, who has given evidence to the health select committee, called for the drug licensing authorities to go much further than merely trying to restrict the supply of anti-depressants.
'The MHRA should concentrate on telling people a little bit more about the risk of them getting hooked on anti-depressants, rather than simply warning the drugs should not be prescribed to those who are anxious,' Healy said.
An internal memo from Prozac's manufacturer, GlaxoSmithKline, written in 1998, revealed that trials of the drug in children were no better than a placebo when it came to relieving depression.
'It would be commercially unacceptable to include a statement that the efficacy had not been demonstrated, as this would undermine the profile [of the drug],' the memo stated.
