Hi, @happyat76 - wondered what your experience overall has been like with fluoxetine hcl (Prozac)? You'd mentioned previously it seemed to help with some symptoms and not others? Is that still the case?

I'd also like to introduce you, happyat76, to some other members who have talked about taking fluoxetine hcl (Prozac) currently or previously, like @elwooodsdad @mayapapaya @jacko @amira @jacko @sylviaanne @meowrightmeow @stomprud @rmeyers1ppk @hopeful123 @dcwash @rmeyers1ppk @oprah @littlecroissant @lorraine59 @jennykl @dianrib @catcatanzaro60 @dishnc @healthytoday @stephieisabella @herbnj @rmeyers1ppk @stephieisabella @dianrib. Hoping they will share what their experiences have been for reducing symptoms and also any side effects experienced on fluoxetine hcl (Prozac).

While waiting for some of these members to join this discussion, I also wanted to share a bit of the Mayo Clinic information on this medication https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/fluoxetine-oral-route/description/drg-20063952 and this article about selecting and working with antidepressants https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/depression/in-depth/antidepressants/art-20046273.

@elwooodsdad - you said you'd just started taking fluoxetine hcl (Prozac) very recently. How's it going so far?

It is going okay. Just started Saturday, and I will take 20 mg. this morning (Tuesday). No lightheadedness and no suicidal ideation as there was on Trintillix. Insomnia continues, but I don’t believe it is the Prozac, but the after effects/half-life of the Trintillix. Slept 101/2 hours Sunday night, maybe 3-4 on Monday. Seeing the doctor Thursday.
