Fluoxetine

Long-acting SSRI, forgiving of a missed dose

The generic of Prozac. Its long half-life makes it the most forgiving SSRI if you miss a day, and it is often the better choice where an irregular schedule is the main barrier to staying on treatment.

Our nurse practitioner treats uncomplicated depression and anxiety within primary-care scope. We are not a psychiatric practice. Bipolar disorder, psychosis, eating disorders, substance use disorder, active suicidal thinking and anyone already under a psychiatrist are referred out rather than started here — and we will help you find that care. We also do not prescribe benzodiazepines, stimulants or any other controlled substance.
