I am also excited about this and started 10mg, then 20 mg. now on 40 mg every am.
I love this drug! very alert on it and no side effects so far.
my oncologist and primary felt no reason not to try it.
I wish there was more information, as of no studies i’m aware of.

I am at full dose 60 mg daily and feel good. Here is a study from Stanford

My Mayo oncologist says there is good retrospective data from GBM Further, real-world data from electronic medical records suggested that glioblastoma patients who were prescribed Prozac along with the standard treatment for the disease survived longer.

I have never been on an antidepressant, I read an article on Pub Med and asked primary and neurologist to start me on it,it seems successful in mice so……always hopeful. I did the SOC. Temodar and radiation but decided to stop treatment after first round.
