Hi there. Sinequan and Prozac are similar in their effects but very different
in other terms. First, Sine quan is a tricyclic antidepressant like Aventyl
or Tofranil, while Prozac is an SSRI. I haven’t heard anything concrete about
effects on memory, but I would believe based on what I know that Sineuqan is
more likely to cause side effects in general including dry mouth, urinary
retention, etc.
