Need more info: Please clarify what you mean by 'paradoxical' effect, eg. what symptoms and/or side effects changed with dose lowering? Kindly resubmit so we can better answer.

Yes but unlikely: Changes in dosage of Prozac may trigger undesirable or unexpected effects but usually not from 60 to 40 mg - always best to consult your prescriber!
