Similar Meds to Prozac?

Posted by Trepanist on December 17, 2012, at 0:00:42

I have severe OCD and I noticed a substantial improvement moving from 20mg of Lexapro to 40mg of Prozac. However, I have pretty bad gastritis form taking it. I tried taking it w/ food, and that did solve the problem for a few months, but now it's back with a vengeance :(

My thoughts are that because Prozac is the least selective of all the SSRI's (additional action on Dopamine and Norepinephrine), I am guessing that's where the additional benefit came from. So, how can I replicate this with other medications? 'cause I have to go back to Lexapro now.

Anyone familiar with these extra actions that Prozac has and what might be a good substitute?

Thanks!
