Fluoxetine - an effective tool for depression treatment!!!

Fluoxetine is a type of antidepressant known as an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor). Fluoxetine is an antidepressant which is used in the treatment of disorders like depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and panic disorder. It helps many people recover from depression, and it has fewer unwanted effects than older antidepressants. It is believed that SSRIs work by increasing the activity of certain chemicals working in our brains called neurotransmitters. These pass signals from one brain cell to another. SSRIs are called selective because they only affect serotonin.

How and when to take it
Most people only need one tablet a day, usually taken in the morning. The normal maximum dose is 4 tablets/day .
Fluoxetine is best taken in the morning. Take your dose at the same time each day. If you are taking capsules, swallow with a glass of water. Do not open or chew.
If you have problems swallowing capsules, let your doctor know as you could be prescribed dispersible tablets which are dissolved in water and then swallowed. You can take fluoxetine with or without food but if you think it is upsetting your stomach, try taking it with food.

If you forget to take your dose, take it if you remember soon after it is due, but if it nearly time for your next dose, just take it then. Do not take double the dose. Keep taking fluoxetine every day. It may take 4 to 6 weeks before you notice the full benefits. If you think fluoxetine is not working for you, do not stop taking it suddenly; speak to your doctor or nurse before stopping.

Interactions
Fluoxetine interacts with many other medications (including pain relief medicines) and herbal supplements so check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting fluoxetine or before starting any new medicines.
