Fluoxetine (Prozac), in addition to
agoraphobia, is used to treat
depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (bothersome
thoughts that won't go away and the need to perform certain
actions over and over), some eating disorders, and panic
attacks (sudden, unexpected attacks of extreme fear and
worry about these attacks).
Fluoxetine is in a class of
medications called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).
It works by increasing the amount of serotonin, a natural
substance in the brain that helps maintain mental balance.
