Answers:
Lovan is also known as Prozac and is an antidepressant of the SSRI family . It may help someone suffering from depression but some one with a behavioural disorder or mania might even get worse on it . It is usually well tolerated and the long list of side affects is not seen in every one.

Before using Prozac it is important to see a Psychiatrist or an MD to determine wether it will help you or not.

Other Answers:
First of all, every person has a different reaction to medication. I would watch her for any changes, but give the medicine a chance to see if it really can help her. However, if she does take a turn for the worst, have her go see/call her doctor right away.
