prozac dosage for dogs

I am feeling no different with the anxiety. I am thinking I might need to get on xanax for a little while until my prozac is increased since it is really driving me crazy. Any advice would be great.

When I went to see a doctor he prescribed me 10mg of Prozac. I have only been on the medicine for 4 days but I feel like my anxiety is worse than ever. I now have a constant tension in my shoulders, and I don't want to be around my friends or go out. I know the doctor told me that it takes three weeks to work but is this normal? It is really affecting my social life and my job. What should I do?

As far as I'm aware, benadry is safe for quite a long time in dogs. The general doggy dosage is 1 mg/ per pound, so that's what your vet has prescribed - most people tend to go too low on the dosage. Using it for only the summer months should be no problem at all. I had a dog who needed it a good 8 months or more of every year and it never caused any trouble. Hope it works well for your Bostie!

My doctor recently started me on 40 mg of prozac a little over 2 weeks ago. I have taken numerous depression drugs in the past where my doc has started me on a very low dosage and worked me up to higher dosages but on prozac we went straight to 40 mg. I have been having headaches, nausua and dizziness. I thought these symptoms would fade away but I have had no luck. I'm beginning to wonder if this dosage is too high. I don't know anything about prozac....

I have been taking 20mg of prozac for about 5 1/2 wks for anxiety/panic. I am still having some anxiety. Thinking about increasing dosage to 30mg. Does anyone know if that will help?

I just recently started on klonipin my dr. Prescribed 1 mg 2 times a day but it makes me to sedated to the point where I can't function so I changed it to .05 mg a day I feel great am also in Prozac been on for 15 yrs was recently on lorazepam but wasn't working just want to know if that is ok . It was just too much .

Hello all. I haven't been on here for quite sometime. I guess I was feeling fine for that time. But now for the last 3 weeks I feel so crappy' no energy, negative thinking, muscle twitching, hard to breathe at times and a general lousy feeling. I am still on medication Clonezapam and clomipramine. I have tried to taking double my regular dosage but it seems to have no effect. The dosage I am taking is 100mg Clomipramine 1mg Clonezepam .

For sure. Cats are at least 10 times smaller than a SMALL adult human female. What is given to us is too much for such a small animal. For example: The amount of Zyrtec I was told to give to Akira is only 1/4 of the adult human dosage. This is much smaller than the children's dosage, which is 1/2 of the adult human dosage. I would never ever give medications to Akira without her first seeing her doctor. I do know that no one should ever give Tylenol to their pets.

Not towards me. Just other dogs......I thought he was showing aggression towards my daughter, but he was just trying to sniff her crotch! He is gross! I guess that's what dogs do! But, no agression towards us humans, just dogs, which isn't fun....

The label provides advice for dogs as well as general farm animals. It prescribed 1 teaspoon per day for dogs over 10 pounds. Any experience/opinions about this approach to increase Pro Biotics in a dog's diet? It may be tasteless and could be sprinkled along with some water on dry kibble I will guess.

Hello I agree with deadgamegrll. I would not recommend taking him off the medications without consulting the Vet because abruptly stopping any medications can be detrimental to his health. It does sound like he is on too high of a dosage. I'm sure examination and testing by his Vet will give the information needed to get his dosage regulated properly.

ve read on this site that Wellburtrin does not have sexual effects. I took Prozac for many years and had great success...it is a good med.

As you said 10mg is the lowest dosage for Prozac. If you do decide to go up you will likely be bumped up to 20mg and see how that goes for a few weeks.

So basically i was put on prozac 40mg a day. Im 14 and it was liquid prozac. So for liquid prozac for every 5ml you take thats 20mg in pill form. My doctor thought it was for every 5ml of the liquid it is 10mg or the prozac pill form. So anyways.... I told my doctor and she put me back down to 20mg. Now when i was on the 40mg my mind was clear and i was happy. Now..... Since iv been put back on 20mg my thoughts have came back and i fear it wont work again. Any advice?

Please check with your vet to ask if it is suitable for your dog. Dogs with glaucoma should not use Klonopin. Use it with caution in dogs who have liver disease. The dose range is 0.1 to 0.5 mg/kg of Klonopin. Which would be 2.72mg to 13.6mg for a 60 pound dog.

my partner has been on prozac for around 10 years and recently weaned herself of them.4 months down the line she is feeling really low ,is this a side affect of the drug e.g. coming out of her system or should she be considering retking it .she really dosent want to start again.Is there a phone number she can ring or a helpline where she can discuss her symtoms. many thanks A.

Gave second dose of Prozac last nite. How long for it to take effect? After my vet ruling out physical issues it was ruled behavioral. He was peeing on my bed. My last resort. I welcome input, new to this site.

I could take a Beta Blocker to help control the symptoms or Prozac for longer term relief. I opted to start 10 mg Prozac just to get my mind back on track so that I could focus on improving my life vs. worrying about the next panic attack. So I'm currently at day 7 and its been a rough ride to say the least. Previously I was taking the Hydroxyzine for anxiety once a week, I have now taken it three days in a row. The worst is usually during the night and morning.

How long have you been taking the Prozac for? Sometimes it takes a couple of weeks to get adjusted to medication. Also my psychiatrist told me alot of people who suffer from anxiety/depression will think the medication is making them worse because the are already struggling with anxiety/depression. However, some medications just don't work for people, or cause side effects such as fatigue.

I used to take Prozac for my severe depression, but after 3 months at a high dosage I gave up on it because it failed to work at all. Then again most antidepressant are not strong enough to work for my level of depression, so I may not be the best one to ask. Prozac works pretty good for some people. Either way, you have 5 more weeks to go before you will even know if it's going to work.

NOTE- not all meds work for everybody, we are all different. Zoloft was awful for me, prozac was amazing. I would suggest switching meds/ taking a higher dosage... Of course talk to your doctor about this first, this is just my opinion. I would also suggest asking your doctor for klonopin for those HIGH ANXIETY moments.... Other than your anxiety you're a healthy kid!
