prozac dosage in dogs

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 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 .

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 . I have question is it possible foe medication to stop working as I have been on this combination for 19 years now. Thank you all in advance who can respond to my question.

m no proffessional, but that goes in the same Category as Celexia (spelling) prozac, and lexepro. Very low side effects. Which would tell me that they take a little time to work. I think you'll see with zoloft you'll have very successfull results. Also have read about it being an antiobsessive antidepressant, along with prozac... Give it more time, it'll work, wouldn't even doubt ater consultation with a proffessional that you could go back to your 50Mg's.

6 weeks is more than a comfortable time period to up the Prozac. During my prime anxiety days I was taking 60mg of Prozac. Upping the dosage is something that only you and your doctor can decide on. The few days in a row being a hot mess could have been the side effects too. Hopefully those are all out of the way. I have found.. and this is just my opinion, but all the meds in the world wont make our anxiety go away. Just help us.

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?

I have been taking Paxill for a while now and it seems to not be working so well anymore. I was wondering if anyone on Prozac could tell me if they are having good results and if Prozac affects there sex drive. The only medication that I tried so far that I didn't have thatsexual problems with was Wellbutrin. Thanks!

im on my 3rd day of no prozac..i read on line where the 450 mg is not unusual..i may need that much with out the prozac..i dont know i just want my sexx liofe back..the hormones and thyroid problem was finally found and i believe thats whats been going on all these years,not depresssion.

Should mention Nemo was a small cat weighing around 7 lbs. his Prozac was in liquid form and his dose was .7 cc/ml....

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.

I have three dogs that wont leave my side. Don't worry the dogs will adapt and love that baby more than you think.

The first few days I felt great and now after a week, I notice nothing. I hear it takes a while to get in to the system, but do not want to waste my time if It does not help very many people. I have hep C and irritable bowel also. I am so at the end of my rope and of course, I am sure I am depressed, about all the side effects of these things. Any feedback? It may help me. Thks!

R u in the uk?

I switched to prozac which over time made my anxiety worse.. I went off prozac in March 2010 and my anxiety came back hard! I lost a lot of weight and couldn't eat :( I started Celexa 3 weeks ago @2.5mg. I know that is a low dose, but I am very med sensitive.. I have noticed a 50% reduction in my panic episodes, Unfortunately, I still have abdominal cramping, morning anxiety and little to no appetite. I am taking Klonopin (.25 2x a day) which helps somewhat but leaves me feeling sleepy.

I was on Prozac for years with excellent results. I was switched to a different AD after Prozac quit working for me. There are many good results from Prozac, unfortunately all you hear about on the blogs are the bad experiences. It is trial and error as to what will work best for you as we are all different.

Can this be from the medication or is she in pain? The vet thinks she may have brain tumor, and I want to make sure she is not in pain.

We instituted daily obedience, walking in heal, sitting and waiting for food until released, etc. At 20 pounds, his final dose of prozac was 20mg per day. After several months, we saw no changes except increased fatigue, so we stopped the meds, but continued with the training. We have seen no change in his anxiety. We recently started him on clomipramine (25mg per day) It's been three weeks and no change whatsoever.

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.

t tolerate in the first couple days, some I felt worse as I upped the dosage. Just take it slow and zero in on the dosage that works best for you. P.S. My sister takes Zoloft every OTHER day (despite her drs advice) and feels better than she ever has after 10 years of Prozac. The point is don't be afraid to try whatever helps you feel better. Good luck to all!

ve probably heard is that Prozac, because it stays in the body a fairly long time while the other ssris, particularly Paxil, leave the body very quickly, is thought not to have as bad a withdrawal problem so some psychiatrists, after tapering your Paxil dosage down, will try to substitute Prozac so as to take you off the Prozac rather than the Paxil. Whether this works or not is very individual. Either way, you'll have to start a slow taper off Paxil first.
