I have known people that did well with prozac in a range of 5mg to 10mg. The 90mg per week dose version of prozac averages out to slightly more than 10mg per day. I liked 2.5mg for quite a while before later going higher.
If side effects are scaring you in the early going, then the dose is too high. Doesn't matter what the dose actually is...it is too high, whatever it is.
Prozac is easy to custom dose. Dump the contents of a capsule in orange juice, stir it well (it won't dissolve), then drink a custom dose. Example, 1/4 of a 10mg glass is 2.5mg. A sip of just a half of that 1/4 would be just slightly more than 1mg. Store in the fridge for up to a week. Stir it well each time. Very easy and convenient. Excellent way to manage early side effects and allow your body to get acclamated without any traumatic experiences.
