What is the correct dosage daily for 20 mg of Prozac for mild depression?? |
So help me if your answer is "go ask your doctor" If that is what you would write then DONT ANSWER!!! The usual adult dose of Prozac is 20mg per day and this should be taken with a full glass of water. This is a great place to order from if you don't have insurance: http://www.inhousepharmacy.com/anti-depr... They also have generics. http://www.cchr.org/index.cfm/8771... Recommended dosage DEPRESSION It may take 4 weeks before the full antidepressant effect of Prozac is seen. Adults The recommended starting dose is 20 milligrams a day, usually taken in the morning. If needed, the doctor may gradually increase the dose up to a maximum of 80 milligrams a day. The usual daily dose ranges from 20 to 60 milligrams. Daily doses above 20 milligrams should be taken in the morning or in two smaller doses taken in the morning and at noon. Children 8 years and older The usual starting dose is 10 or 20 milligrams a day. Children starting at 10 milligrams will have their dose increased to 20 milligrams a day after 1 week. Underweight children may need to remain at the 10-milligram dose. Prozac Weekly You need to wait at least 7 days after stopping your daily dose of Prozac before switching to the once-weekly formulation. One Prozac Weekly capsule contains 90 milligrams of medication. http://www.healthsquare.com/newrx/pro136... My friend is on Prozac and has been for about 23 years and I believe she takes 20mg per day every morning as many as you want. |
