changing meds

I HAVE BEEN TAKING PAROXETINE 20MGS FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS AND BEEN VERY HAPPY.
I RECENTLY CALLED MY PHYSICIAN FOR A RENEWAL OF MY PERSCRIPTION AND SHE CALLED ME IN FLUOXETINE 20 MG. I CONTACTED HER IMMEDIATELY AND HER RESPONSE WAS ITS THE SAME THING, TRY IT. AFTER READING ABOUT THIS MEDICATION I FOUND ITS A FORM OF PROZAK WHICH I SPECIFICALLY TOLD HER I WANTED TO STAY AWAY FROM DUE TO SOME FRIENDS HAVING BAD REACTIONS AND I FOUND IT REDUCES SEXUAL DESIRE MORE THAN OTHER SSRI'S WHICH IS ALREADY AN ISSUE IN MY RELATIONSHIP.  AM I OVERREACTING? ARE THESE MEDICATIONS THE SAME OR SHOULD I INSIST MY PHYSICIAN CALL IN WHAT IM ALREADY USED TO?  WE ARE TALKING ABOUT MY BRAIN CHEMISTRY HERE AND I DONT TAKE THAT LIGHTLY.

I'm confused as to why she would switch your meds if you were doing fine.  I don't know anything about either of those meds, but unless you're having bad side effects, there really shouldn't be a reason to switch.

Ok I just googled both, so is Paxil vs Prozac.  I never used those, but yeah, are you leaving part of the story out?  I mean, did you tell her about any negative side effects you were having?

It doesn't make sense to me either...
