Hi all

I was just wondering if anyone here knows of the dosages prozac come in? as im on 10mg pills right now do they come in higher pills then this? ALSo does anyone know if they are expensive? more expensive then paxil? i got samples so they were free (for now) im also in canada btw any help would be great.

Hello

I also keep reading on the net that prozac is effective for 9 months what on earth is with this??? i mean drugs like paxil and zoloft are often effective for years and years i guesss prozac isnt? so confusing! :bouncing: :eek:

prozac comes in 10mg,20mg,40mg and 90mg pills as far as the 9 month thing im not sure but it really doesnt sound right to me.

Paxil has a generic form now (wayyyy cheaper) so I would think Prozac would too. A lot of SSRI's should have generics available by now. Prozac can last longer than 9 months - it lasted much longer for me (I went off it because of side effects). In the brand-name form, these drugs are $$$$$.

There is a generic Prozac (Fluoxetine) for the last year or so and comes in several different dosages. I take 3 20 mg pills because the 40 and 60 mg cost more. I have insurance and I pay $7.00 per month for 90 pills.
As far as the nine months, I don't know where that came from, I've been on it for probably 15 years off and on. Tried effexor for about a year and that was a disaster. I've always called Prozac a miracle drug.
