It's the brand name of fluoxitine, a selective seretonin re-uptake inhibitor, basically an antidepressant. I also had short term memory loss and I felt dramatically lower. It didn't go away for me, so I changed medication initially, before scrapping it all together. But for the majority, it gets better after a matter of weeks.

LudovicoTechnique Posted at 9:49 am on Dec. 4, 2008 I've heard of people that take it, I know it's supposed to be pretty rough the first week. It'll be gone after a week or so, you'll know when it's over too. All 3 previous replies displayed.
