Prozac maximum dosage

Common Questions and Answers about Prozac maximum dosage

prozac

Avatar n tn Usually when Psychiatrist refer to "maximum dose" they are refering to the maximum effective dose at which any more of the drug is simply never going to produce further theriputic results. I know it sound as if it means "max dose" as in "that's the most you can take before the danger level" but that's not usually the case. For example if the maximum effective dose of Effexor is shown to be 350Mgs a day.
Avatar n tn I can't sleep was prescribed melatonin what is the maximum dosage I can take I am 16. 8 stone 12 about 5'10.
Avatar m tn m down from 375 mg to 300 mg per day. The maximum dosage the manufacturer recommends is 225 mg, and with the addition of the Wellbutrin, I don't want all of that Effexor XR. I hope this time, that Wellbutrin works. I've heard good things about it. Your experience with it gives me hope.
266195 tn?1215310411 He said its not a big deal if I just stick with the 60mg of the prozac because its still an increase without taking me to the maximum dose. So i guess I will just see how the 60 makes me feel. So taking the klonopin and prozac together like that is ok? I'm sure the doc would know lol, but im always overly concerned.
Avatar n tn 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....
Avatar n tn when the doctor said 200 was the maximum he accepted that. He does seem to be doing well, but I am worried. what chance is there of his ever getting off of it, or at least onto a lower dose?
Avatar f tn I just recently started on klonipin my dr.

429925 tn?1203905115 What is the maximum dosage for Effexor XR? Also, is it advisable to take with Lorazapham?
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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!
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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?
Avatar f tn I was taking 75 mg effexor hr....was getting cranky and irritable....doctor switched me to prozac...oh my gosh I went from irritable to Mel Gibson rages...quit taking that within 11 days.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn However, it is common practice to increase medication dose to help control blood sugar (the maximum dose of metformin is about 2500 mg/day, in split doses). Some people do take their medication before eating. Please discuss changes in medication dosing with your md. You may also find that restricting carbs (eat more fat, non-starchy vegetables instead to replace the calories) may help in reducing your blood sugar.
924711 tn?1290266557 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn If you have been on it for a long time talk to your doctor about upping the dosage or switching medication. I have health anxiety too. When you are having anxiety try to tell yourself.. I know I have anxiety, this is my actual condition that I do have. It is acting up now, breath through it. tell yourself. My doctors ran tests on me and I'M A HEALTHY YOUNG 22 YEAR OLD!!! YAY!
Avatar n tn I was taking Prozac for about a year and half and had just recently stopped (approximately 2 weeks now). I gained about 30 lbs as a side effect (sadly)...so now I am left wondering if this will eventually "fade away" in time --- and if so, how long does it normally take for it to be completely out of your system ... ??? ... Thank you for your time and help.
