>Hello, what is the status of prozac these days?
Generic fluoxetine is very widely used in the UK. It's similar in efficacy and tolerability to the other SSRIs - with a few minor differences (allegedly).
>Why I do not hear/read more about people using this drug?
........because the newer SSRIs have been VERY effectively marketed. There's nothing specifically wrong with fluoxetine.
>Is it worth to try when Zoloft and Effexor failed?
Since Effexor and Zoloft have failed, I'd recommend trying a completely different type of antidepressant next eg. desipramine.
