"Phen-Pro" is a cocktail (combination) of Phentermine ("Phen") and a minimal dose of Prozac (“pro”) combined.  Any of these antidepressants: Celexa, Zoloft, Luvox, Effexor or Trazadone might be applied in lieu of Prozac.

In the Phen-Pro cocktail. the use of an antidepressant is  not related to depression itself. The cocktail is required as the effect of Phentermine, if used alone, lessens more over time. The Phen-Pro cocktail facilitates Phentermine to work better and for a greater period of time.

Phen-Pro is certainly considered to be "off-label", the implication being that the FDA, does not approve of it. But again, once the FDA has given approval to a drug, doctors may prescribe it however they wish. It does seem that the combination of Phentermine and Prozac does not seem to trigger the problems that have resulted from Fen-Phen usage.
