Is Prozac still around?

[Sandstormbrewing]

This is going to sound like the most vain thread ever but here goes.

Had awful pnd with ds but never got treated. It was partly fuelled by how I felt about my body. I'd gained weight pre-pregnancy and that didn't help.

I'm now eating much better and have lost 11lbs so far but I'm pregnant again. I've already alerted HCPs to my previous issues (I was never formally diagnosed but all HCPs agree it sounded like bad pnd) and have advised I'll likely get it again. I'd like treatment this time but would really prefer not to gain more weight. I've had Prozac for previous depression and it worked well and I didn't gain weight (also no other side effects) so was thinking of asking for it again, would this be possible?

Yep known as fluoxetine

Yes very common and in different strengths.

Great. Every one I know is on sertraline or citalopram!

Yep, definitely still around, my daughter was prescribed it yesterday

Yep I gave fluoxetine to 5 different patients yesterday, though I'm sure the maximum dose has been reduced from 80mg to 60mg.

I was prescribed fluoxetine when pregnant but had to switch to sertralune for breast feeding. I think the sertralune doesn't pass to the baby through the milk, but I'm not a Dr.

Citalopram is an excellent AD mind you. It saved my life when fluoxetine and sertraline didn't cut it.
