In reply to Generic Fluoxetine: Experiences? Good? Bad?, posted by Chris O on August 1, 2008, at 16:51:17
> I'm into my second week of 30mg/day generic fluoxetine. I am seeking feedback from others who have taken this generic. I took Eli Lily's Prozac eight years ago at 20mg/day. Even after two weeks, I noticed a significant improvement in my GAD and depression symptoms. With this generic, it's like, not so much. There is some improvement, but it seems...weak, tepid, blah. Also, with the Lily Prozac, I did get some side effects, some twitching, some anorgasmia. With the generic, there are basically no side effects. So, I'm wondering...is there even anything in this funky green pill?

> ChrisI think its more an issue of trying a medication a second time around and getting different results. I don't think it has to do with being a generic or not. Its been a generic for quite some time now as one of the first generic psychotropics.
Do you really want those side effects? Maybe its a sign that Prozac is not working for you as noted these days like it did before. Remember, biochemical imbalances are a moving target, your brain changes over time.
