Prozac

Prozac is the brand name version of the generic antidepressant medicine fluoxetine. Prozac is so well known because it’s the most famous of the antidepressant meds. More affordable and equally effective generic versions now exist. Lemonaid doctors or nurse practitioners typically prescribe the generic version of fluoxetine after an online consultation. Lemonaid doctors or nurse practitioners also prescribe other antidepressants like Lexapro, Zoloft, and Wellbutrin.

Yes, because Prozac is a prescription medicine. The good news is you don’t have to go to a doctor’s office to get your prescription, because Lemonaid offers an online service whereby you get an online prescription and the medicine shipped direct to your door. We charge $95 a month for the medication and ongoing consultations, shipping included.

Prozac is in the class of antidepressant meds called SSRIs, and makes you feel better because it increases how much serotonin is in your brain. It can take 4-6 weeks for you to feel the benefits of the medicine, and you may not feel the maximum benefits for 3 months. It’s important to be on the dosage that’s right for you, and our medical team will monitor you month to month and help you decide if you should adjust your Prozac dosage accordingly.

Complete an online consultation with Lemonaid and our team of doctors or nurse practitioners can help you decide which antidepressant is right for you. We can write the prescription you need and ship your medicine to you from our own mail order pharmacy. It’s important to know that you’ll need to take the medicine for a number of months to benefit fully. 20mg is the usual starting dosage we prescribe, but some of our patients find they need to take 80mg daily for Prozac to be effective.
