Answer
Prodep will help anxiety, but it will initially worsen some of the anxiety symptoms. But you need to take it at least one month to see an effect. It is generally recommended to take benzodiazepine such as Alprazolam for the initial period.
Prodep have significant sexual side effects and it can cause reduced libido, erectile dysfunction. But a doctor need to balance out side effects and anxiety relief for you.
Question
My mother 87 years of age suffered an ischemic stroke last year...7 months already, and she still cannot walk. She was an active lady, she feels very sad and depressed. The doctor at the hospital initially prescribed 40 mg Prodep, which I did not administer, but now I feel she may need it. Is this dose too high, also how long should I continue before she feels better. I am worried because she seems sad and refuses to eat.
Answer
Fluoxetine (Prodep) usually start in the dose 20mg morning. There is little evidence that Fluoxetine (Prodep) more than 20mg is effective for depression. However, large doses are effective for obsessive compulsive disorder or anxiety symproms.
