There's nothing at all wrong with such a high dose of Prozac. It's not common, but not unwarranted in some cases. I read at Dr Ivan Goldberg's Depression Central that doses up to 200mg are used by 'experts'. Anyone not experienced in using such a high doses is probably not an expert, and they haven't yet learned some important lessons.

This is just an idea, but you might want to do this. Click on 'tips' at the top of the main page. When you get there, look on the left side for Depression Central, or Ivan Goldberg. Click on that. When you get there, you'll have to explore around. I don't remember exactly where it was he talks about high dose Prozac, but it's there somewhere. Maybe in the 'Collected Writings of' section. When you find it, print it out and carry it with you.

Dr Goldberg is a noted national psychiatrist with considerable experience and respectability. Having his info on-hand for any of your doctors to read should help make your case. You wouldn't be the first to be treated successfully and safely at 200mg, and you won't be the last. I hope you can find what I'm talking about, because I really think having it in writing will be important when confronted with a hesitant doctor. JohnL
