Is 60 mg of Prozac alot. I started out only taking 20. I have bulimia, so I believe this is why the larger does. Does anyone else take/or have taken that dose? Side effects?

I think the max is 80, so you're getting up there.

When I first went on meds, I got put on Prozac. 20 did nothing. 40 did a little. We went up to 60, and bam! I started having auditory hallucinations. That was the end of Prozac for me!

Good luck.

Hi all, I was just put on prozac and i believe I am on 20mg. I am also curious of what the effects are going to be. I also have Bullemia and I am hoping that this med wont make me put on weight. does anyone know more about this drug? I know this is the oldest form of anti depressants. Help?

60 mg is the hight you can go on prozac .It will take a about 4 weeks to reach it's peak and the side affects should decrease . Good Luck on everything
