Hi,
Better not take Prozac without proper evaluation. Your inability to focus can be due to various common issues like Adult ADHD (ADD) or other reasons. Prozac would help only if it is anxiety or depression and can be counter productive if it is due to other reasons. Best is to consult a psychiatrist, get evaluated and then follow the advice.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
