In some rare instances it can be of use, however in many cases Prozac is no longer prescribed to teens as SSRI antidepressants have been proved to be highly risk laden when used with teens. In the United Kingdom it has been banned for use with children. There are many instances where the introduction of an antidepressant can make Bulimia worse, as it can increase anxiety.

Does Prozac work for PMDD?

My daughter took Prozac for PMDD. For nine months, it has been very successful. Now, she has started having crying jags, and we discontinued the Prozac.
