Prozac - 18
Works the best
I've heard it mentioned more often.
Because Prozac has been used for ages its pros and cons are well known by patients and physicians so the more we know about a medication and its benefits etc makes prescribing easier. Where as both cymbalta and paxil are not as old as Prozac thus pros and cons not as well known as with Prozac. I also consider Prozac a great medicine for females where as males tend to respond better to paxil Zoloft etc.
Been most effective
It seems to have less side effects in comparison to paxil and cymbalta
It[Prozac] has a higher public visibility than Paxil and Cymbalta, but Cymbalta, through its advertising, focuses on the chronic pain relief as opposed to anti-depression component.
know
It is the oldest
I am a male patient with Major Depression.
Prozac, for me has no sexual side effects. I felt much better on it than any other antidepressant.
Cymbalta made me severely impotent. That was the reason for discontinuation.
much cheaper than symbalta
Cost factor.
My doctor says it has less side effects than Cymbalta which I had requested as treatment for general anxiety disorder and fibromalgia and arthritis pain
Oldie but goodie
it's been around the longest, has the longest track record, and the least severe common side effects
Cymbalta is newer and more expensive. Prozac has been researched more throughly.
Because I am smart
It's been around the longest and has a proven track record
HAVING READ MANY ARTICLES ON THESUBJECT OF DEPRESSION, IT APPEARS EVIDENT THAT PROZA C IS PRESCRIBED MOST OFTEN.
Paxil - 1
I HAVE NO IDEA
Cymbalta - 8
Fibromyalgia is on the rise.
I have had depression for years and developed fibromyalgia in my mid 30's...so why not take a product that can treat both conditions
just a guess
I have been on this for about 4 years 60mg. Don't ever try to quit cold turkey. You will have dizzy spells and extreme fatigue. I wish I never got started with this. It is very expensive. It does help though with the depression and pain.
Advertised more than others
Newest,most expensive.
It is newer than than the 1st two & I take it.
it is newer...there is no generic and medicine is a business.
