In reply to generic prozac not effective?, posted by Donna Louise on October 28, 2003, at 21:42:39
I have tried generic fluoxetine in the past (in capsule form) at 20mg/day for a month -- didn't do a thing for me. Perhaps your doc is right? I've never taken the brand made by Eli Lilly, but two weeks ago I started on a different brand of generic Prozac and feel *great*. Get your prescription filled at Walgreens -- they carry the Par Pharmaceutical brand of fluoxetine which are caplets, not capsules. (call ahead to make sure that's the brand they have in stock though -- I'm not sure if it's the same all over the country; if not, call the other pharmacies until you find one that carries the Par brand)
