This medicine is used to treat depression, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, premenstrual mood disorders, impulse control disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and panic disorder. Sertraline inhibits the reuptake of a chemical in the brain called serotonin. Sleep and appetite may improve quickly. Other symptoms may take up to 4-6 weeks to improve.

Fluocetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor or SSRI. This means that is prevents the reuptake of serotonin( a chemical involved with caused depression ) and has little effect on norepinephrine. It has fewer side effects than some of the older antidepressants. It is important to keep in mind that fluoxetine should not be used with alcohol to avoid adverse effects.
