Hi Karen, I take 20mg every other day, so effectively 10mg daily. My sister used to take a 10mg dose once a week, so that would be approximate to what you're presently taking.
I think it has something to do with both the long half life of this particular drug AND just how responsive our individual bodies are to it. (Based not on any science but my experiences). Any more Prozac than what I'm on and I get really jittery and unable to calm down. At this dosage, my depression seems pretty much in control (I haven't been crying lately) and my obsessive thinking has vanished.
I'm just grateful when something works and doesn't mess me up with too many side effects. Or poops out on me.
take care
