WHat happens when you miss a very high dose of prozac (just say ur on 80) for about 5 days str8? I know it stays in ur system but could it be dangerous for ur mood?

Re: prozac users
I've missed a dose once or twice and have felt more depressed because of it. I'm currently on 30mgs (just started weaning down from 40mgs). I would think that missing a 80mg dose for even one day would be bad, let alone five.

Re: prozac users
Dangerous for your mood? I don't know that I would go to that extreme, but yes, I think that skipping that high of a dose for 5 days would probably cause a decline in the mood. Most users also report dizziness in that situation and many feel flu-like symptoms.
