However, when I tried to go back on Prozac (the generic version) in 2006-2007, even in doses of 80-100mg, I experienced little of anything clinically significant. Often, it felt like I was taking nothing, even at that high of a dose. So, go figure. I would say 40mg is definitely worth a try, especially if 20mg isn't working anymore. I don't think you have anything to lose.

> ChrisGood to know. I've heard that generics can be much less effective than brand. Wish my insurance would pay for real Prozac!
