Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fluoxetine (Prozac) has been shown to be effective in treating bulimia nervosa, but there is limited evidence of its effectiveness in treating anorexia nervosa. In fact, some studies have suggested that fluoxetine may actually be ineffective or even harmful in treating anorexia nervosa. Therefore, it is generally not recommended as a first-line treatment for anorexia nervosa.
