Has anyone benefited from just 10mg of prozac? My 17 year old son has been on it for 6 weeks and seems to be helping. The doc wants to increase it - it’s annoying me. why increase if he’s okay. I would like to wait and see.
hi Lucia, my local NHS trust advises a starting dose of 10mg with increase to 20mg after 2 weeks or so if necessary. it sounds like a good case for challenging gp if increase is necessary. has your son been offered a talking therapy as well like CBT? There are also some good online self-help resources for anxiety and depression like Moodzone and some NHS recommended phone apps some of which can be found here: https://healthyyoungmindspennine.nhs.uk/resource-centre/apps/ good luck 
Thanks - going to have him get the app.
Hi luci , interested to know if your son upped his dose to 20mg? I have been taking 10mg for the last 9 weeks and have done well on it. starting to have some anxiety come back out of no where. if he did increase to 20mg, did he have bad side effects when he upped his dose?
