> The main rationale was that it is used alot to aid in withdrawal from other SSRIs and I thought this might remotely have an impact on any future withdrawal(possibly not as harsh). Plus I haven't seen alot of stuff on the site about it but I haven't researched as much either.
Prozac is a forgotton drug that is attracting renewed interest. It is definitely unique among the SSRIs for various reasons, and I can think of no reason why you should avoid it except for if you failed to respond to it in the past at a dosage of at least 40mg. It is more activating than the other SSRIs. I tried it a long time ago, but when no one was going above 20mg. Perhaps I should revisit at some point.
