> Can you remember if it seemed any easier for people to deal wth? Isn't it the only one still approved by the FDA (for what that's worth) for people younger than 18?
Yes.
Doctors are going up to 60mg at this point.
I wish I had a list of the things that make Prozac different from the other SSRIs. For some reason, the details escape me. I think it is somewhat more noradrenergic than the others as it inhibits the reuptake weakly, and it blocks to some extent 5-HT2A/C receptors. It does have multiple actions.
