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 have tried 80 mg Prozac. I did not find it any better than 60 mg that I now take. Everyone is different, you might benifit. If not you can always take less, discuss with your doctor. I hate medication, never convinced they really work but in reality they do modify you. Ultimately it is up to you. Medications alone don't work for me. I need a support network of family also. You are not broken.
