In reply to Indications prozac (fluoxetine), everywhere diff.?, posted by sdb on November 29, 2006, at 19:18:03
I've been on prozac for 10 years. Currently weaning off...again. It just doesn't work anymore and creates all kinds of new problems. But anyway, it was for depression. It worked fair for a couple years, but always needed an augmentor to make it better and to handle the side effects. For anxiety or panic, I felt it was too stimulating for that. It always created some vague background anxiety for me.
Different countries, different drugs, different indications. Yeah, it is strange isn't it? Hey, how about this one...we can buy Kira brand St Johns Wort over the counter in the USA for depression and anxiety. But if you want it in Germany, you have to get a prescription for it. And it is prescribed a lot more frequently than prozac. Weird huh?
