It is neither - Prozac is an anti-depressant, and shouldn't get you high at all. If you take too many, you will overdose without feeling any different. If you have depression or an anxiety problem and are prescribed to Prozac, taking your regular dosage will affect you, but will probably not affect someone without your illness in the same way.

No not in the American legal sense of the word, "narcotics" are basically illegal opiates.

Narcotic is based on a Greek word for narcosis, which is an effect of opiates (depressing neuronal functions of the body)

prozac's active ingredient is called fluoxetine, or more commonly fluoxetine hydrochloride (salt form). This is a psychoactive drug classified as an SSRI - Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitor, meaning it prevents a protein transporter in the neurons of your brain from removing serotonin from the chemical synapse.

Can you smoke marijuana while taking 10mg of Prozac for severe PMS?

Yes, you can. To my knowledge, there aren't any drugs or medications that you can't take with marijuana. Marijuana's physical effects on the body are minimal. Since it is a mild hallucinogen, rather than a stimulant or depressant, it does not affect your central nervous system the way most other drugs do.

Is diphenhydramine hydrochloride a narcotic?

It is actually a CNS depressant; but curiously its unintended side effects led to the invention of many antidepressants - like fluoxetine (Prozac) and other selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors - which, although they lift your mood, are still CNS depressants.


What happens when you mix Prozac and alcohol?

It's not so much a matter of reaction as it is efficacy. Alcohol is a depressant and Prozac is an antidepressant. Excessive alcohol use/abuse counteracts the antidepressant effects of Prozac. Basically, it will not work as well, if at all. Also, when there is a reaction, individuals who are on Prozac and use alcohol can experience intoxication more easily and readily. As a result, poor impulsivity and judgment can occur.

Can you smoke Prozac?

I am not a doctor but I would strongly advise not to. I really don't think that's the proper way to take it and there have been a lot of reports of negative side effects already from unproperly administrating prozac.
