My psychiatrist wants me to go up to 80 mg prozac, but I've rarely heard of anyone being on this... does that make me extremely crazy? Or "broken"? Has anyone ever been on 80, and if so, what was your experience like?
I'm just afraid because I think its the ceiling dose and if that doesn't work, there's no where else to go...

I recently had the same problem. I started on a low dose (20mg) of Prozac about 2 years ago, and every 5-6 months I've had to up the dose to get the same effect. I increased to 80mg and noticed no improvement from 60mg. We decided that a different med is the way to go, so I've just started Cymbalta. The SSRI's tend to not do the job for me. Good Luck!
