Can you buy Prozac or any other antidepressants without prescription?
Question:
Answers:
No. (Except illegally, of course). It is not at all uncommon, however, for a Dr. to prescribe them for a very long time, even in some cases, for a lifetime. Prozac is considered safe over the long-term, though more studies will be needed to confirm this once it has been around for a longer period of time.
The only "anti-depressants" you can buy over-the-counter are "herbal remedies" (e.g., St. John's Wort), which have not been tested in line with FDA requirements for drugs, so have not been proven effective. Prozac cannot be bought over the counter in New Zealand.
Prozac is relatively easy to find on the black market and is often taken by teenagers who (generally in error) think it will give them some kind of quick high. Since Prozac takes time to build up in the bloodstream, one dose won't do much but make you a little jittery.
Hope this helps,

I wouldn't take antidepressants without a docter's consent, unless i wanted to commit murder or suicide! Just get over it the old fashioned way, give it some time!!
dirty Dave down the Anchor has got some
I suppose that they can be got on the internet like anything else.
you can buy american versions of stuff off the internet
no
did you ask her for that? I guess those Prozac might be from black market. I received tons of emails before asking me if I want Prozac, Abilify, Viagra...etc.
no you have to get them from a doctor my husband has been on them for 15 years.
i,v only known him for 6 years
Prozac is a very dangerous medication in my opinion. The trials, using college attenders who were not depressed, actually showed that these people were more likely to commit suicide than they would have been expected to. My daughter was semi-depressed but became suicidal on Prozac. Do try alternative therapy such as chinese herbs, acupuncture, counselling before going down this route, particularly if the drug is not medically prescribed. Take care!!
It IS possible that her GP is prescribing her Prozac for that long. She may not be stable enough/ready to come off it. Ten years is a long time to be on them but don't dismiss it. Many Gp's will continue to prescribe if it is doing the job.
You cannot buy it without prescription.
There are some herbal remedies that are said to be good for depression though.
yes, you could buy it without prescription, not all pharmacy will accept order without prescription, sometimes the online pharmacy that doesn't required prescription just fake pharmacy and do not send the medications you've order. so you have to be carefull.
there is an online pharmacy that could buy without prescription but send you the medication,no scam. they only supply generic (for prozac , its fluoxetine) and very cheap, because this is overseas pharmacy. the only matter is it takes 10-14 business days to arrive even they will not charge you with shipping fees
here is the pharmacy, http://www.RxPharmaWeb.com
good luck
some people take the same medications for many years, or for life.
i have a friend who has been taking lithium for 25 years. it's not that uncommon.
and i'm sure you could go to mexico and get these meds if you wanted without a prescription.. im not sure where else they are available without a prescription. you can do a websearch to find out.
take care.
Hi,
Only on the Black market - It is an offence to buy or sell these drugs as they can have dangerous side effects if not taken properly - I really hope your friend is getting them from the Dr..
Anyway I hope your friend is okay and blessings to both of you...C
Prozac is not for sale over the counter In England. Please be carefull when taking medication for deppression drugs like these are usually only prescribed in the short term and should gradually be decreased on advice from GP but 10 years is far to long . Prozac is also very addictive thats why it should only be for short term use. Most medication is not very effective after continual use for long periods, Thats why doctors should monitor and re-assess prescribed medication
You can buy anything you want on the internet - anything!
