Fluoxetine for dysthymia

Is it a recommended drug for dysthymia?

Answer: It is what I was diagnosed with and I take it, so yeah I guess it is

Pregancy category C?

Several other reputable sites are reporting that Prozac has been classified category C. I've changed this page to reflect this data, although I was unable to personally verify.

Pedophilia

Nowhere in this article does it say this pharmaceutical drug is used to treat pedophilia.

WP:NOTCATALOG

"An article should not include product pricing or availability information unless there is a source and a justified reason for the mention. Encyclopedic significance may be indicated if mainstream media sources (not just product reviews) provide commentary on these details instead of just passing mention. Prices and product availability can vary widely from place to place and over time. Misplaced Pages is not a price comparison service to compare the prices of competing products, or the prices and availability of a single product from different vendors or retailers."

"Misplaced Pages articles are not:

Simple listings without context information."

"Directories, directory entries, electronic program guide, or a resource for conducting business. For example, an article on a broadcaster should not list upcoming events, current promotions, current schedules, etc., although mention of major events, promotions or historically significant program lists and schedules may be acceptable. Likewise an article on a business should not contain a list of all the company's patent filings.

Sure so the question appears to be should we contain a list of brandnames for a product? If there are refs I do not see anything really wrong with it as long as they go low in the article and not the lead. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 01:15, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

I just don't see what it really adds. Our article on automobiles doesn't contain a comprehensive list of every local brand of car made anywhere in the world. Nor do our articles on gasoline, televisions, oatmeal, epoxy glue, or personal computers. In the case of generic drugs, it is even less useful than in the above cases, because the generic must be EXACTLY identical to the original.

Honestly, do you ever read those tables of generic names? Do you get anything of value out of it? 2601:643:8100:8AF4:C4A2:D991:C7E0:9B17 (talk) 03:03, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

Kapit

about this dif, the OR here is using a primary source and giving a bunch of WEIGHT to it, even quoting it. What we need is a reliable secondary source that gives significant weight to what Kapit said. Has nothing to do with what he said. Jytdog (talk) 19:45, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
