What is Fluoxetine
Fluoxetine is one of the most common antidepressants at the moment. It is used very often, especially in an outpatient setting. This prevalence is associated with the availability of the drug, its effectiveness and a relatively small number of side effects.
Pharmacological group
Fluoxetine belongs to the group of selective neuronal serotonin reuptake blockers. This is a group of drugs from the list of antidepressants. As the name implies, in most cases, fluoxetine is actually used to treat depressive conditions. However, it has a number of features in comparison with other means of its group.
Fluoxetine has increased selectivity for serotonin uptake. It practically does not affect the exchange of other mediators of the central nervous system. Unlike most representatives of the SSRI group, fluoxetine combines the properties of an antidepressant and a stimulant. It does not have anti-anxiety and sedative effects, but rather stimulates mental processes. A number of indications and contraindications are associated with this. In addition, the effect of the drug on eating behavior is special - fluoxetine significantly reduces appetite, which is also used for medical purposes.
Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics
The main point of application of fluoxetine, like any other antidepressant, is the brain. Fluoxetine acts on the neurotransmitter structures of the central nervous system. First of all, for serotonin metabolism. Serotonin is a central nervous system mediator responsible for mood. The more serotonin in the central nervous system, the better the person’s mood.
Patients who suffer from depression have a reduced concentration of certain monoamines, primarily serotonin, to a lesser extent dopamine and norepinephrine. Fluoxetine increases the concentration of serotonin by blocking its entry into nerve cells and reducing destruction. In addition, this drug helps activate serotonin receptors in brain cells. All this helps to improve mood.
Fluoxetine practically does not affect the exchange of dopamine and norepinephrine. This determines its stimulating effect on the central nervous system. In addition, the more selective the drug acts on a certain mediator, the less side effects it has. Fluoxetine is also not affected by the autonomic nervous system, which allows it to be prescribed to people with various diseases.
This tool interacts with the centers of the hypothalamus, responsible for the feeling of hunger and satiety. When taking fluoxetine, appetite is significantly reduced, which allows it to be used to treat eating disorders. Also, this effect is often used by people who want to reduce their weight.
Fluoxetine has one negative property - with prolonged and frequent use, it causes the opposite effect. The drug begins to block serotonin receptors, which reduces the effectiveness of this mediator in the central nervous system. This effect causes addiction to the drug. With prolonged use, the dosage has to be increased in order to achieve the desired effect. In order to avoid this property, fluoxetine is taken for a not very long time.
Indications for use
Fluoxetine is used in the practice of psychiatrists and psychotherapists. In some cases, its appointment is acceptable by neurologists. This drug is used to treat the following pathological conditions:
- Depressive episode of any severity;
- Recurrent depressive disorder, current episode of any severity;

- Bulimia nervosa;
- Schizoaffective disorder depressive type;
- Schizophrenia with symptoms of depression;
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder;
- Alcohol dependence with symptoms of depression;
- Organic affective disorder.
The listed disorders are most often treated with fluoxetine in combination with other psychotropic drugs. The exception is moderate to mild depression, as well as bulimia. These diseases can be treated with fluoxetine alone. It is important that the clinic of these diseases does not have an alarming component. This drug may increase anxiety.
There are combinations of drugs with fluoxetine. For example, Symbiax is a combination of fluoxetine with the atypical antipsychotic olanzapine. This medication is used to treat schizophrenia, schizoaffective and bipolar affective disorder.

How to take Tamoxifen after the course
The drug is taken after a course of steroids - in the second week of the steroid cycle. This feature is associated with an increase in estrogen levels by the end of the first week of the cycle. The end of the course occurs in the interval 2-4 weeks after the completion of steroid administration. The daily dose of the drug is 20-60 mg 2-3 times / day.
When comparing Tamoxifen with other drugs aimed at reducing side effects caused by anabolics and improving athletic performance, the drug in question wins or vice versa. Compared with Proviron, less is needed, but Proviron is an estrogen antagonist and suppresses the formation of hormones, preventing the aromatization of steroids and atherosclerosis. Men are advised to choose Proviron, it acts on the cause, and does not just mask and eliminate the symptoms of the problem.
If an athlete takes anabolic steroids that are not subject to aromatization, aromatase inhibitors are not necessary, Tamoxifen is included in the intake at the final stage of the course. Compared to Clomid, he is preferable. Tamoxifen acts less on the pituitary gland, but it equally well restores the level of endogenous testosterone, does not increase the level of globulin binding to testosterone, and is cheaper.
