###Human: Exams trigger my OCD. Can I take Prodep just for a month? ###Assistant: Hello. Prodep (Fluoxetine) can be used in OCD and yes it has some side effects as you mentioned but not all the persons taking it suffer from these side effects. And, these are not permanent side effects and remits when you stop the drug. Secondly, it is advisable that you take these drugs only after consulting your psychiatrist, as these are prescription only drugs. Also, this drug is not used for as and when required basis. This may need to be taken for a long period. Hope this helps you. Thanks and regards. For more information consult a psychiatrist online -->
