A member asked:

Been on 20 mg of prozac (fluoxetine) capsule form for 5 months would like to decrease to 10 mg can i take out half the powder how would i measure?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Work with doc: It would be easier to just get the 10 mg fluoxetine. What you say can be done, however, and your doctor whould be involved.
