No, contrary to your suggestion, I'm not of mediterranean heritage... ;)
If you re-read my post, you'll find that I recommended she consult with her doc, first and foremost. I then suggested that she consider taking one 20mg capsule every other day to approximate a dose of 10mg daily, which you will find is common practice for this particular drug.
There was never a mention about taking 20mg capsules for an indicated dosage of 5mg/day, nor was there any mention of concerns for possible Prozac sensitivity.
> So if I suspect I could be very sensitive to Prozac and want to try first 5mg, I should take the 20mg pill and wait 4 days to find out how I feel day 4. But if I am really sensitive to the med I could of course be dead day 1, so NO THANK YOU! It'a a cretin idea IMHO. I prefer Phil's juice method.
