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,
Nathan

Hi!
I would like to think I was successful coming off Prozac. I have been on it for 3 years and each year went up 20 mgs. When I decided to taper off a few months ago, I was at 60. I felt I had been on too much for too long and had lost who I was. I stayed home all the time and for someone who used to be out every night doing something, it was hard. I had also gained about 60 pounds. I was fatigued all the time, and as the dosage went up, the symptoms got worse. They usually say those are just your depression symptoms, but I had been diagnosed with depression when I was 9, so I'm pretty familiar with the way it makes me feel. I decided to go off on my own as I did not trust my doctor and its so hard to get an appointment with another pyshcologist. (sp?) I went down 20 mgs every 2-3 weeks. I've been completely off the meds for about 3 weeks, and I've never felt better. My energy is coming back, I feel more and more like myself everyday. I do feel the meds were very helpful 3 years ago, but now I feel I've learned how to handle things without SSRIs. As far as long term effects after Prozac, the only thing I've noticed and it has been with ALL the SSRIs I've been on (I've been on different ones since I was 9) is the twitching. I also went through a problem with drugs before going on Prozac, but it's been before that. I twitch allll the time. They're not major, but it's enough to bother me. Let's hope they'll go away in time,
I hope I helped, and good luck with everything!

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.

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.

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!!

ordering drugs online can cut costs considerably. A Consumer Reports study found that savings can reach 25% or more.
Experts say, sites that offer to sell "lifestyle" drugs such as Viagra and Propecia without a visit to your doctor's office. Those sites can charge as much as cheaper the usual cost of such drugs.

Generic drugs are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have the investment costs of the developer of a new drug. New drugs are developed under patent protection. The patent protects the investment--including research, development, marketing, and promotion--by giving the company the sole right to sell the drug. As patents near expiration, other manufacturers can apply to the FDA to sell generic versions. Because those manufacturers don't have the same development costs, they can sell their product at substantial discounts. Also, once generic drugs are approved, there is greater competition, which keeps the price down. Today, almost half of all prescriptions are filled with generic drugs.

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

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
