Prozac dosage/intake advice needed
Posted , 5 users are following.
Just to keep it short, I was prescribed 20MG prozac, and recently upped the dosage to 40 mg. On 40 mg I felt quite sleepy, lethargic whole day.
Doctor tells me to cut the pill in half. But its a capsule (with powder inside). Is that ok ? To split capsules and take dosage ? I am not sure it will be exactly 20 mg each time.

I tried to explain all the powder stuff etc to the doc, but he wants me to show up at practice, which means copay and all that thing.

But it did not work out. I felt dizzy, sleepy during day on 40mg/day. So he suggests cut the tablet/capsule and take only half so I can be back on 20mg. As said above, its a pain to do so.

Also when my doctor increased my dose from 20 to 40mg he did it slowly ....alternated 40 mg capsule one day the next 20mg only ......this dosage averaged 30 mg per day. Did this alternate dose for a month then he upped dose to 40 mg every day.
