Can Fluoxetine be used to treat menopause?

How is the antidepressant Fluoxetine used in the treatment of menopause?

Answer:
Hi,

No. It cannot. I am 15 years feeble and I take fluoxetine, and my mom be getting my prescription and she and the pharmacist were being silly around about menopause. My mom is one and only 38, but she was dictum like "oh hopefully this will relief when i have menopause" and the pharmacist advise her it wouldn't work.

Also, it isnt so much an antidepressant. It just make you more active, so you CAN take happier. Doctors sometime prescribe it to overweight kids so they get involved and lose weight.

I dream up you may need to find a different chance.

Have a great night!
Maybe, but I ruminate you will find Effexor(another SSRI) much better than Prozac. Effexor has be shown to reduce hot flashes by 60 percent.
Antidepressants are prescribed for menopausal women to numb them so they will stop complaining. Doctors don't know what to do beside us!

You need to address the underlying issue - hormonal disparity. Don't put an antidepressant band-aid on it. It will only craft things worse in the long run.
