No: There is not a 1:1 relationship between doses of zoloft (sertraline) and prozac. Zoloft (sertraline) doses range from 25 to 200mg whereas Prozac ranges from 10mg to 80mg.

and even if there was one, not all the meds in the same class will exert the same effect (sometimes, one totally different). No way to predict response or obtain useful conclusions this way.
