In reply to PROZAC DOSE: Should I increase It?, posted by Joy on January 23, 2001, at 11:02:05
> Hi. I am on 20 mg of Prozac for almost 3 weeks. I started Prozac while weaning off Zoloft which I was on for 7 weeks. I feel pretty good on Prozac but am interviewing for jobs this week and possibly the next few weeks. I see my psych in 2 weeks. I was thinking of trying 30 mg of Prozac to how it works; would I feel better or worse?
> JoyJoy,
The fact that you have what sounds like *significant* improvement by week 3 is a good indication in itself. However, as I'm sure many of our 'experts' will confirm, ADs can take several (ie. 6-12 weeks) to achieve a full response. In the short run you are only going to increase side-effects (which you could well do w/o if you have a busy schedule ahead), thus possibly reducing compliancy on yr part, and all for (quite probably) no long-term gain.*My* advice is to stick @ 20mg until you see yr pdoc (besides, doesn't Prozac only come in 20mg caps?).
Good Luck,
Jah.
