The only difference between cheap Prozac and the name brand is the price. You will still have the medical benefits and the risks of the drug. The ingredients are the same. Cheap Prozac will still cause increased incidents of suicidal behavior and thoughts, especially in the young. The cheap version will still interact adversely with other medications you are already taking. In addition, a doctor will need to slowly take you off the medication, if you do not want to take cheap Prozac any longer. In today's tight economy, generic brands of Prozac can save a lot of money; but it still works the same.
