Dear Sir
It is highly recommended that you take medication for mental health problems only after a detailed evaluation and under supervision of a psychiatrist.
Prodep and cyclotin both contains fluoxetine, they are different brand names for the same drug. 60 MG or more of fluoxetine is a high dose and should only be taken after visiting a psychiatrist.
Please see a psychiatrist in person for further help.
Thanks
Regards

Hello,
Though both contains same compound fluoxetine, still its advisable to continue with same brand if possible. There can be some efficacy issues. Fluoxetine maximum dose is generally 80mg. Though in some cases it has been given up to 120mg.
