Tablet prozac to liquid prozac

I have tapered off Paxil and now am tapering off prozac. 5 days ago I switched from 10mg tablet prozac to the liquid equivalent (2.5mg) so no drop in dosage.

I am not feeling well (blood sugar drops, dizzy) and wonder if it has to do with the switch. I did not have problems when I switched from tablet paxil to liquid paxil..

Any ideas

Thanks

You went from 10mg to 2.5....or 2.5 of tablet to 2.5 of liquid?

Re: Tablet prozac to liquid prozac

Prozac suspension comes 20mg/5ml


so do you mean you are taking 2.5ml- which would equal 10mg?

Re: Tablet prozac to liquid prozac

yes, I am taking 2.5ml..sorry

The pharmacist said it has the same half life and everything, so I should not be having a problem converting.

Just thought I would run it by the group..

Thanks
