Just curious to know what the max dose a doc can prescribe you with Fluoxetine. It's a pretty run of the mill prozac tablet and very common but just wondering since I've recently been bumped up to 40mg and heard of others being on more.

ive heard of ppl bein on 50 but thats as much as i know xx

60mg is the max
sja
I know 40mg is a high dose, my psychiatrist told me this when she started me on prozac for the OCD. I think your run of the mill joe with depression is usually on 10 to 20.

not that i want to steal your thread, but just curious for those taking prozac.. was weight gain a side effect for you? my np is thinking of prescribing this for me, and i dont want to gain any more weight.

I am confused as to whether 40 mgs of prozac is high or not. I think some people take as much as 100mg a day. I will check this out.

I've been on 20 for years, never gained weight, matter of fact, usually the opposite. For awhile I was on 40, but I didn't want to go back on that much. Right now, I am on two different ones at 20 each.

Now I'm on zero I ditched them again. Lookin at all these replies though maybe I shouldn't keep doing that....if i hadn't ditched em last time I mightn't have been bumped up again and this was only like ten days two weeks ago...damn.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
