In reply to From Zoloft to Prozac, posted by mrmichael on February 1, 2010, at 9:10:14
to me personally, 20 MGS seems LOW compared to being on the highest dose of Zoloft that is recommended. One can go up to 80 MGS of Prozac. I'd question your doctor about this one. If it's a starting dose... makes sense. If yoru doctor cross tapered you from 200 MGS of Zoloft to 20 MGS of Prozac.... I personally would not be a happy camper.
