A member asked:
Dear mds: what is the usual prozac (fluoxetine) starting dosage for 11 years boy with moderate anxiety. we are looking to use liquid since he doesn't take bills.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Start low: And go slow. In general for child, starting dose is 5mg daily , to be increased 5 mg per day every 3-4 weeks. This is because ssri's take this long to reach full effect per dose. Example: 5mg every morning x 3-4wks then 10mg every morning. Of course please discuss prior to using with their doctor regarding symptoms, main and side effects and risks and benefits of this or any medication.
