Prozac (fluoxetine) is a medicine often prescribed for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, panic attacks, some eating disorders and premenstrual dysphoric disorder symptoms. People younger than 24 will be required to keep their doctor’s appointments during the first several weeks of the treatment to make sure they do not get suicidal thoughts and ideas. Your dose depends on a number of important factors that will be evaluated by your health care provider, so you may be started on a lower dose of Prozac to see if it works for you. If you think the low dose is inefficient it can be gradually increased until the optimum effect is achieved.
