In reply to 70 mg prozac for anxiety and depression, posted by FredPotter on July 10, 2000, at 18:59:25
Fred,
I'm currently on 40mgs of Pro per day. It has tendancy to act as an "activator" for me (which also helps with my mood and depression) but, also occasionally triggers anxiety. My doc said he would not raise the dose above 40 for that reason. I supplement the Pro with Xanax as needed (which is more often than I'd like). I'd really be interested in knowing how the Prozac affects you. 70 mgs seems high to me but probably because of my reaction to it. Please let me know how it works out for you.
Peace,
Greg> Have just been prescribed the above for GAD, panic and depression. Does it sound excessive? I start at 20mg and ramp up gradually. The pdoc insists that I've built up a tolerance to Xanax, which I dispute, but he won't prescribe Buspar (it shouldn't be taken with an SSRI - sic). All this despite lack of effectiveness of SSRIs in the past (at normal doses though). I'd appreciate anyone's advice on this.
