I believe you would have to get Prozac-liquid to get any increments under 10mg.

HI! at one time prozac had a "scored" 10 mg. tablet that you could split down the middle. maybe you can ask your pharmacist if they are still available. good luck....john berk

I have some 10mg tablets generic Prozac by PAR I got from Walgreens and they are scored so you can break them into 5mg doses.

Others have posted about what dosages are available. To answer your other question, no, even if there were 5 mg tablets available you won't get them. They will give you exactly what the prescription says.
