User Reviews for Fluoxetine

Prozac (fluoxetine): This has made such a difference to my life. It is like the "voice" that continues to tell me I am too fat and that all the "bad" things in life would be better if only I were thinner, has weakened. It is still there but I don't have to listen, if fact I can even ignore it. What a relief. It has made me realize just how much time I was spending listening to all the negative thoughts, planning the food, covering up the vomiting. I finally feel "normal" what a relief.

Prozac (fluoxetine): This drug was a life-saver for my daughter. She really feels like herself now that she's on it.

Prozac (fluoxetine): I am 23 years old and have been bulimic since I was 11. This is the first medication that made a difference. I used to take Prozac for depression, and it helped somewhat. When my eating disorder got way too out of hand, my psychiatrist and I decided to raise my dose to 100 mg (dosage is higher for bulimia than depression). I still feel obsessive over food and weight, but now when I get the urge to binge I have a chance to fight it. It seems to have lessened the compulsion or the need to follow through on urges. It's not a miracle cure, but it has given me a fighting chance. I was actually able to go through an entire pregnancy without binging or purging once. I am now in recovery, and my slips are few and far between.

Prozac (fluoxetine): Please, I urge you if you struggle with Bulimia to try Prozac. It has been LIFE CHANGING.

Prozac (fluoxetine): I'm taking 60 mg Prozac since 4 weeks. I only relapsed twice in the first week (while being on a lower dose) It took away the urge to binge and even purge. I'm less depressed, too. I've been through 5 years of psychoanalysis and 2 hospital stays all to no avail (never took medicines). I have bulimia for over 25 years and am hopeful to get rid of the food pressure - for good. Prozaz changed my life so far. I'll update at a later time.

Prozac (fluoxetine): I'm going to make this short and simple Pros: felt better within the month of taking it slowed my bulimia way down. CONS: had to up the dosage a month ago. So fare so good. I yawned the first 2 weeks straight all day long but its over now. ive been taking it for 2 months now and i love it! im 24 years old and have had my deppression and bulimia for 13 years and i have never felt this good. also im on 1mg of klonopin(clonazapam) at night. i like that too. hope this helps

Prozac (fluoxetine): I've been on Prozac for 3 months now and I love it. Things aren't so negative anymore.

Prozac (fluoxetine): This medication was completely useless for treating my bulimia or any symptoms associated with it.

fluoxetine: I started taking fluoxetine for anxiety (never told the MD about my bulimia) and was relieved when my bulimia was alleviated as well. I stopped taking the medicine last week because I think it makes me a little TOO happy, kind of high-acting all the time, even though I am only on a 20 mg/day dose. My husband does not like the change in personality I have had while on it. He doesn't know about my disorder. While on the medicine my bulimia was greatly reduced, but I did binge and purge still on occasion. Felt a greater sense of self control though. Since quitting the medicine about a week ago, I have been out of control, binging and purging twice a day on average. I think I need to start taking it again, placebo effect or not.
