Don't you wish was here to yell, "ASSWIPES!" LOL

OMG! Well, she's not here so I'll yell it -- ASSWIPES!!! And to think they only used 5 mgs in clinical trials (or was it ten?). And now 40 is a low dose???? Aye yi yi, what's the world coming to?

Dear ,

You said:

<<I am on 40 mg of Prozac - down from 60mg to replace the monsterous

DT's from Effexor. Well that has been several yrs now and still on

Prozac, cause I can't live thru that nightmare again. I am sure I

will be on this dose forever now.>>

** Hon, we'll help you. It may take a year or more, but we'll help you

do this. Keep the faith.

Dear Glitter,

You said:

<<This is not a low dose. 20 mgs is considered a therapeutic dose, so you

are on double that. If you go slowly enough, you can get off this drug. >>

** Welcome to the new and improved " therapeutic " dosing for Prozac. The

drug companies are kind enough to share with physicians how the higher doses

work much better. To wit:

" Doses above 20 mg/day may be administered on a once a day (morning) or

b.i.d. schedule (i.e., morning and noon) and should not exceed a maximum

dose of 80 mg/day. "

Don't you wish was here to yell, " ASSWIPES! " LOL
