How safe is taking Prozac 20mg instead of Paxil?
human
Hello....I have been on Paxil for 13 years recently up to 60mg. It just isn t working anymore. Yesterday my doctor switched me to Prozac 20mg and gave me a three week ween schedule off the Paxil. Do you think that 20 mg of Prozac will work for me when 60mg of Paxil no longer did?

HiI understand your concern.Prozac and Paxil both are SSRI.Prozac contains fluoxetine which has linger half life.Paxil contains paroxetine which has short half life. so it can be worth to take either of this.Though indications are different for both the drugs.It depends upon your symptoms.Here you do not mention symptoms so it is difficult to say.But both the drugs are good and kindly discuss with your doctor.Thank you.
