Suggest An Alternative Of Prozac
I am currently taking Prozac for depression and have been taking it for about 30 years, since I was 37. I currently have an extensive rash. My dermatologist wants me to take something other than Prozac for depression, but most other anti depression meds make me sleep all the time and gain weight. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You should try venlafexine (efexor) in place of Prozac.
Venlafexine is newer, safer antidepressant.
But it is prescribed drug. So you need psychiatrist prescription to buy it.
So consult your psychiatrist and discuss about venlafexine.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
