I am at full dose 60 mg daily and feel good. Here is a study from Stanford

My Mayo oncologist says there is good retrospective data from GBM Further, real-world data from electronic medical records suggested that glioblastoma patients who were prescribed Prozac along with the standard treatment for the disease survived longer.

I read the article and it does sound encouraging. It does note using the Prozac along with standard treatment though. Are you still taking the standard treatment, and if so at what stage?
My wife is one week post cycle one of the increased Temodar of 5 on and 23 off. It has again resulted in loss of appetite and weight loss. If something such as the Prozac would lengthen the time off from the chemo drug that would be a blessing.
Thanks,
