Prozac or Generic Fluoxetine?????

Posted by Geezer on July 13, 2002, at 18:09:57

Can anyone tell me the approximate bioequivalence of brand name Prozac vs generic Fluoxetine? I had real success with Prozac a few years ago then switched to Fluox. generic (pdocs and pharmacies often do this without much thought), can't remember the timing regarding the change but I went down hill on Fluox. Everyone (including me) assumed "poop out". The jury is still out as to my DX, Unipolar Major Depression or Bipolar II. Currently taking Depakote 750mg and Lamictal 150mg. I really need to add an AD to the mix. I know the FDA , in their infinate wisdom, allows considerable varience with generic drugs. I am looking for the best chance for success and would welcome all experience and comments,
Thanks,
Geezer
