Fluoxetine 40–60 mg versus Fluoxetine 20 mg in the Treatment of Children and Adolescents with a Less-Than-Complete Response to Nine-Week Treatment with Fluoxetine 10–20 mg: APilot Study

Abstract

More than two thirds of patients whose dosage was increased responded within 10 weeks, suggesting dose escalation may benefit some patients. Approximately one third of patients unresponsive to initial treatment with fluoxetine 20 mg responded to this fixed dosage within another 10 weeks. Fluoxetine 20-60 mg/day was well tolerated.
