Prozac is an anti-depressant commonly known as fluoxetine. It is used to treat major depressive disorders, bulimia nervosa (an eating disorder) obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD)
Fluoxetine, a generic term for Prozac, works by increasing the activity of a chemical called serotonin in the brain.
In rare cases, some users of Prozac became violent, either harming themselves or others. Some users developed a serious side effect known as akathisia, a serious side effect that could lead to violent or suicidal behavior among a small percentage of users.
Lawsuits have been filed against the manufacturers of Prozac and Prozac-like antidepressants.
