User Reviews for Fluoxetine

"I am on prozac for 5 weeks now, no relapse of binge ever since. But i have experienced some side effects like lack of energy, insomnia, nausea, and dry mouth. Some of them went away. Hope within time all of them go away. I will recommend it to people who suffer from binge eating. It noticeably reduced my appetite from the third day. My obssession over food can finally be stopped. I am really happy with this medication. Started at 20 mg in 1st week, upped to 40 mg in 2nd, then 60 mg in 3rd."

"Cured me from years of binge eating that I thought would be with me until I died. I can now say I am extremely happy and healthy and binge free! It took me about a month and a half to feel the drugs effect so please DON'T GIVE UP! I did have terrible side effects for the first 6 weeks such as stomach ache, drowsiness, bad dreams, lack of energy. But these all wore off gradually and it was so worth it!!"

"I began taking Prozac ~8 weeks ago for mild depression. At the last minute I learned it may also help with Binge Eating Disorder, which I've struggled with for 25 years. Within 3 days of taking 10mg/day, I had zero obsession with food. I ate, but easily stopped after 2 oreos, no joke, it felt like a total miracle! However at ~7 weeks, I realized I'd started a binge cycle again, and ate everything in sight for about a week. I suspect my dose is too low and my brain adjusted and no longer benefits from my 10 mg. I'm started taking a 2nd pill every other day for an avg dose of 15mg in hopes of getting back to that sweet spot with my BED. I read most folks don't see Prozac work for BED until 60mg, has anyone had luck taking less?"
