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.

No! You can't! The coadministration of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs, like Citalopram, Prozac, etc.) with tramadol, which has weak serotonin reuptake i inhibiting effect, may potentiate the risk of serotonin syndrome, which is a rare but serious and potentially fatal condition thought to result from hyperstimulation of brainstem 5HT1A receptors. Hope this helps!

What is the action of Prozac in the central nervous system?

Prozac is an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) & acts to keep serotonin in the synapse (space between neurons).  This is accomplished by inhibiting the normal process of extracting serotonin from the synapse by a process called reuptake.  Keeping serotonin in the synapse longer causes the serotonergic neruons to be more effective.
