Things to Know About PROZAC
PROZAC is available by prescription only.

A rash can be a sign of a serious medical condition. See your doctor immediately if you develop a rash while taking PROZAC. Also, you should not take PROZAC at the same time as or within 2 weeks if stopping a type of antidepressant medication known as an MAO inhibitor. Don't take MAO inhibitors for at least 5 weeks after stopping PROZAC.

Thioridazine should not be administered with PROZAC or within a minimum of 5 weeks after PROZAC has been discontinued.

PROZAC, Prozac® Weekly™, generic versions of PROZAC, and Sarafem® contain the same active ingredient, fluoxetine hydrochloride. Some people experience mild side effects like nausea, difficulty sleeping, drowsiness, anxiety, nervousness, weakness, loss of appetite, tremors, dry mouth, sweating, decreased sex drive, impotence, or yawning. These tend to go away within a few weeks of starting treatment and, in most cases, aren't serious enough to cause people to stop taking PROZAC.
