Fluoxetine. my doctor prescribed me 5mg of fluoxetine, will this be effective?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I don't know what: Condition the fluoxetine is being used to treat. I sometimes start a person on a 5 mg iniitial dose if they have particular health problems or have been sensistive to ssri's. Often, i go on to increase the fluoxetine dose from there.
