Prozac (fluoxetine) is an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor). It targets reuptake channels for the neurotransmitter serotonin, preventing serotonin from reentering the presynaptic neurons to be removed from the synaptic cleft, thus forcing an accumulation of serotonin and repeated triggering of the serotonin "signal" in the postsynaptic neurons.
