Question 1

Can I take Fluoxetine with amlodipine?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can take Fluoxetine (Prozac) with amlodipine (a calcium channel blocker) only under close medical supervision. Fluoxetine may affect how some medications are metabolized and raise the risk of serious side effects. Your healthcare provider should monitor blood pressure, heart rate, and overall response, especially when starting or adjusting doses.

Question 2

What happens if you stop Fluoxetine Tablets?

Accepted Answer

If you stop taking Fluoxetine suddenly, some people may experience antidepressant discontinuation symptoms such as mood changes, dizziness, irritability, or flu-like symptoms. Because it stays in the body longer than many other SSRIs, symptoms may be delayed or milder. Tapering the dose under your doctor's supervision is the safest way to stop treatment.

Question 3

Can I get Fluoxetine for anxiety without a prescription?

Accepted Answer

No. Fluoxetine is a prescription-only medication. The FDA requires a prescription because it affects brain chemistry and must be used under medical supervision to ensure proper dosing, effectiveness, and safety. A licensed healthcare provider must evaluate and prescribe Fluoxetine for anxiety or other approved conditions.

Question 4

Is Fluoxetine safe to take daily?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Fluoxetine is generally safe for daily use when taken exactly as prescribed. It is designed for long-term treatment of depression and related conditions. Regular medical follow-up is important to monitor effectiveness, side effects, and any necessary dose adjustments.

Question 5

Does Fluoxetine cause weight gain?

Accepted Answer

Fluoxetine is generally considered weight-neutral and may cause slight weight loss at the start of treatment due to appetite suppression. With long-term use, some people may experience modest weight gain, though typically less than with many other SSRIs. Individual responses vary based on metabolism and lifestyle.

Question 6

Is Fluoxetine a happy pill?

Accepted Answer

No, Fluoxetine (Prozac) is not a “happy pill” that creates euphoria. It is an SSRI antidepressant that helps restore normal mood regulation by increasing serotonin levels in the brain. Over time, it can reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and OCD, helping people feel more stable and less overwhelmed rather than artificially happy.

Question 7

Can I save money by buying Fluoxetine from Canada compared to the U.S.?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Prescription drug prices in Canada are often lower than those in U.S. retail pharmacies. By ordering Fluoxetine through Polar Bear Meds, eligible patients may save significantly, sometimes up to 80–90%, depending on dosage, quantity, and availability, with a valid prescription.
