Can Immediate Post-injury Fluoxetine Improve the Recovery Trajectories of Victims in Bodily Trauma?

Subjects will be randomized to take Fluoxetine (10mg by mouth per day for first 14 days then 20 mg by mouth for 9 months). The randomized drug will be prescribed by the study team on the day of randomization so that the patient may be monitored for side effects during the remainder of their hospitalization. The patient will be prescribed the randomized medication on the day of discharge and a 90 day supply will be provided by the inpatient research pharmacy at the 2 week, 3 month, and 6 month follow-up visits

When a patient is enrolled, the inpatient research pharmacy will dispense the appropriately randomized medication in a visually similar, over-encapsulated form as Fluoxetine
