"when i was put on prozac at the hospital, they prescribed 10mg.  at this dosage, i would have what i can only describe as &quot;dips&quot; in my mood.  it was like i had become become bipolar without &quot;highs&quot;.  i would go from happy or sexually aroused one minute to wanting to cry the next.

so i went to my psychiatrist and explained that to her, so she increased my dosage to 20mg (which i think is the norm anyway).  since then, i have been doing much better.  i&#039;m actually a functional and productive human being again. i can thank prozac for preserving my sanity."
