In reply to When Did People Discover Low Doses of AD's Work?, posted by Phillipa on May 31, 2005, at 22:06:52
> It seems that a lot of posters are taking very low doses of AD's like prozac for depression. I've noticed it with cymbalta too. How did you discover that they worked better than the recommended doses of the drugs? I always thought you needed the recommended dose for them to work. And then sometimes higher. Thanks, Phillipa
Many people only need 5mgs of Prozac for Antidepressant relief,
I have known people who were started off on one 20mg Capsule-felt completly overwhelmed, and gave it up. Many knowledgeable PsyDocs will start ppl off on 2.5-5mgs of prozac in liquid form, until they adapt to the SEs then raise to a standard level of 10 or 20mg or higher if needed.My good friend even felt nothing from 80mgs 4 caps, while that dose would blow my head off.:(
