Fluoxetine is an antidepressant medication from the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class, used to treat depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, and bulimia nervosa. It works by increasing serotonin levels in the brain, improving mood and reducing symptoms associated with these conditions.
Fluoxetine is taken orally, usually once a day at the same time, with or without food, as directed by your doctor. The therapeutic effect may appear after several weeks of treatment, and abrupt discontinuation is not recommended without medical advice.
Common side effects include nausea, insomnia, fatigue, dry mouth, or dizziness. Rarely, more serious reactions such as suicidal thoughts, seizures, or severe allergic reactions may occur. If you notice behavioral changes or unusual reactions, contact your doctor immediately.
Fluoxetine is effective in alleviating symptoms of depression and other disorders, but requires careful monitoring and adherence to medical instructions to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.
