> Because of the extended half-life of prozac, is it possible to take one 20 mg. capsule every 4 days to get a 5 mg. dosage, or is that too bumpy of a ride? I have been taking 20 mgs. every other day to get ten per day, i hope i am doing the right thing...johnI wouldn't exceed 48 hour intervals between doses (the average of a highly variable rate). 20 mg every other day is fine, IMHO. 10 mg every other day to get 5 average is verging on a different issue, IMHO. I don't know that rates are interpolatable down to zero. In other words, if half-life laws hold absolutely in lower dose realms. I just don't know. I wouldn't go below 10 every other day. If I wanted lower than that, I would use daily dosing.
