hi all
I was wondering if anyone had any experience of taking this
I've been taking Prozac 20mg per day, so 140mg per week, for quite some time now. There's complications because I'm usually much better in summer than winter and I think it causes a certain amount of insomnia when the days get longer.
I know someone who takes 90mg extended release once a week and says that's a normal maintenance dose - but she sees a private psych. I will be seeing my GP soon and wanted to ask about this but also wanted to know if anyone else had other experiences. I realise that it stays in your body a long time so you can miss a dose but I also thought a lower dose in summer might make more sense.
I'd be interested to know if anyone has any experience of this? I don't really have a trace of depression left but of course there's no way of knowing if that's the tablets - but also I hear that neural pathways actually change after a few years of taking the meds?
I'd also be interested if anyone knows what the latest science is on that aspect, it would be amazing if it were true! Thanks.
Thanks all!
