OCD Since Childhood. On Fluoxetine. Can I Get A List Of Suppliers?
Question: Hi
I am 73, from being an infant I have suffered from OCD, didn't find out until I was 63. I have intrusive thoughts. At 63 I started taking fluoxetine. But some brands differ in their side effects. I took winthrop and milthpharm, both with success. Just had a bad experience with wockhardt. My pharmasist doesn't seem able to help. They only stock what they are allowed. Can you send me a list of suppliers of Fluoxetine.

Hi there,
Thanks for writing in.
I am a medical specialist with an additional degree in cardiology.
Fluxetine is a prescription drug and your doctor will have to write the prescription I can only suggest 3 more trade names which you have not taken.
1. Prozac,
2. Sarafem,
3. Fontex,
If your prescribing doctor has not added DO NOT SUBSTITUTE your pharmacist can give you any of these. May be you have better luck with any of these.
With Best Wishes.

It is different brands of Fluoxetine that I am having the problem with. Some brands agree with me and some don't.
Disagree with me:-
Numark
Accord
G Milpharm
Wockhardt
I can't take the above
I can take Winthrop
Milpharm
My pharmisist supply what they have managed to buy as a company. But most of what they supply don't agree with me. I want a list of suppliers/distributors of fluoxetine so I can get some that agree with me.
Thank you for you previous answer but that is not what I require.
Thank you.
Look forward to your answer.
