    Location: Dubach, LA | For an anxious, watchy, spooky, nervous, high-strung, jump, reactive horse? I need input from those who have actual experience with one of these drugs or another that maybe I haven't heard about. |

          Location: Texas | I had a horse on Prozac that was spooky and reactive, and it helped him a lot. I was able to take him off it after a few months. |

Fluoxetine HCI Capsules 40mg, 2 capsules, once a day.
My vet gave me one syringe with 4cc in it. Supposed to last a month. I think it made him worse. |

That might've been fluphenazine. I've known people to use it and not work. My vet prescribed the fluoxetine. The pharmacy name is Covetrus. |

    Location: Dubach, LA | Prozac (fluoxetine). Vet said he has better luck with Prozac. A friend gives a very small dose of reserpine weekly. She's happy with it. Guess I need to call him back.
