My Pdoc started me on 10 mgs. of prozac and recently increased it to 20 mgs. Is this considered a low dose?

I do know the answer as when prozac first came out it was the starting dose too stimulating for me. Now they start med sensitive people on 5-l0mg of prozac. Love Phillipa

I went all the way up to 80 mgs, so I would say yes.

Hi,
20mg is not a low dose, it is the 'standard dose' ie. the majority of patients take 20mg.

I take 30mg, thats a moderate dose.
60mg is considered high.
20 of Prozac is the standard dose.........so no worries... ha...
