> Your doc will most likely start you out on 10mg or 20mg Prozac capsules. Here's a neat trick. Dump the contents of a capsule into a glass of orange juice. Stir it well. Drink a custom sized dose, starting with just a few sips at first. Then once you know what it feels like, you can increase your dose sizes as desired. The orange juice mixture can be stored in the fridge for about a week. Just stir it well each time.
*****Did you have success in trying this orange juice method or did you still feel the side effects? So, let me see if I understand. Just empty one capsule in a glass of orange juice and I can sip on this all day. It sounds good to me, I'll add this to my list of topics to discuss with my doctor. I'm not even sure if she will prescribe Prozac. The doctor who prescribed the Lexapro would not prescribe Prozac because she said it is too activating. I think all of these ADs are activating, that's why we have the side effects. Thanks again!
