Prozac, a Drug consisting of Fluoxetine compound, is an antidepressant and is commonly used for the treatment of Depression, Anxiety Disorders & Panic Attacks. Prozac/Fluoxetine is a member of a class of prescription drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Prozac is being manufactured by Eli Lilly.
What are the major disorders for which Prozac/Fluoxetine may be Used?
Prozac/Fluoxetine is generally recommended in cases of prolonged depression.
Depression is described as a state of mind wherein the person feels pessimistic, characterized by sadness, despair and discouragement. The feeling of pessimism may come in any individual, but this becomes a problem when the pessimistic feelings cross an extent of control. It may range from some very normal sad mood to very hyper depressive state of mind.
The symptoms of depression often include changes in appetite, sleep habits, and mind/body coordination; decreased sex drive; increased fatigue; feelings of guilt or worthlessness; difficulty concentrating; slowed thinking; and suicidal thoughts.
The drug is also prescribed for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD): - OCD is characterized by recurrent obsessions and/or compulsions that are intense enough to cause severe discomfort, which may include recurrent and persistent thoughts, impulses, or images that are unwanted, and repetitive behaviors or rituals.
Prozac is also used for patients suffering from panic disorder, where a panic attack is a sudden surge of overwhelming fear that comes without warning and without any obvious reason. It is far more intense than the feeling of being 'stressed out' that most people experience. Symptoms of a panic attack include: racing heartbeat, difficulty breathing, terror, dizziness, nausea, trembling, sweating, choking, chest pains, hot flashes, or sudden chills, tingling, fear of dying, etc.
Prozac/Fluoxetine has found to be very successful in the treatment of depression and other similar disorders of brain.
Prozac/Fluoxetine functions like other antidepressants, which balances the amount of Serotonin, a chemical necessary for normal message transmission in the brain. Since depression and other brain disorders are caused due to an imbalance of some chemicals in the brain, it becomes necessary to control these chemicals.
One such imbalance includes the decreased release of neurotransmitter substances (Like Serotonin, Dopamine, etc.) within the central nervous system. Amongst them the major one is Serotonin, whose basic purpose is to send electric signals from one nerve to another. A person suffering from depression will have imbalance amount of Serotonin in the brain, effecting the transmission of messages in the brain, thus leading to depression and anxiety.
Prozac/Fluoxetine works by blocking Serotonin so that it does not get reabsorbed back into the sending nerve. This helps in increasing the amount of Serotonin, thereby the message transmission becomes normal and hence decreasing the amount of depression. Prozac/Fluoxetine has been found to be very safe for the patients suffering from depression.
