Question:
Can Fluoxetine be used to treat menopause?
How is the antidepressant Fluoxetine used in the treatment of menopause?
Answers:
Hi,
No. It cannot. I am 15 years old and I take fluoxetine, and my mom was getting my prescription and she and the pharmacist were joking around about menopause. My mom is only 38, but she was saying like "oh hopefully this will help when i have menopause" and the pharmacist advised her it wouldn't work.
Also, it isnt so much an antidepressant. It just makes you more active, so you CAN get happier. Doctors sometime prescribe it to overweight kids so they get active and lose weight.
I think you may need to find a different option.
Have a great night!
