In reply to ADs a bit different than most drugs - dosage wise, posted by Thomas123 on February 28, 2003, at 6:11:10
This should not necessarily be true in all cases. Evidently there are people getting sufficient antidepressant response from lower than manufacturer recommended doses of antidepressants. Prozac is available in 10 to 20 mg capsules, and the manufacturer recommendation for depression is 20 mg daily, but I have heard
success stories on as low as 5 mg of prozac. 25 mg of Zoloft is also effective in some cases of depression. Of course it is related to the severity of depression. But mild to moderate depression will definitely respond to small amounts of antidepressants.
