Hi,
I know it's been around awhile but do any of you have experiences or opinions on Prozac weekly? If you do I would be interested to hear them. Thanks. JN

Hi,
I posted a few days ago asking if anyone had experience with prozac weekly usage (90)mg. I received 0 responses and now the post is buried so I'll try one more time. Thanks. JN

Are you currently taking regular Prozac? If not you need to for about 12 weeks prior to starting it to have a solid steady state.
I tried Prozac Weekly for a short time and felt a strong AD effect, then I could feel myself sinking towards the end of the week. I honestly didn't take regular Prozac 12 weeks prior, which may have been part of the problem.
I honestly think taking it daily would keep a steady level better than the weekly version.

Thanks alot. I do currently take prozac 20mg and you are right re: 12 weeks therapy prior to starting. Your comment about the end of the week was interesting and is something I am concerned about about with prozac weekly. Thanks. JN
