Has any one ever taken prozac and phetermine at the same time? If so does it help a lot more or what does it do?

Hey, I'm taking both now too - don't know the answer. I'm new to Phen, but a relatively long-time Prozac user. I'm curious about the benefits or drawbacks myself. Hope we're not the only ones wondering! Ellen

Phen-Pro Cocktail

The newest cocktail involving Phentermine is "Phen-Pro" - the "Pro" standing for Prozac. Any one of the following antidepressants: Zoloft, Celexa, Luvox, Trazadone or Effexor may be used in lieu of Prozac.

The use of the antidepressant in the Phen-Pro cocktail is unrelated to depression. The cocktail is necessary because the effects of Phentermine, when used alone, lessen over time. The Phen-Pro cocktail enables Phentermine to work better and for a longer period of time. The cocktail does not appear to cause the problems that resulted from the usage of Fen-Phen.

The combination of Phentermine and Prozac is considered an "off-label" use, meaning that the FDA, who often voice concerns regarding the mixing/combining of medications, does not approve it. However, once the agency has approved a drug, doctors may prescribe it at will.[/b]
