> I had to start with liquid prozac. Yummy, huh? I had the opposite problem though. I had to start so low because it made me too hyper. I felt like I was going to jump out of my skin. I had to take it with valium. Now I take it with topamax.

> KarenKKaren K,
I would appreciate your advice on starting low on the Prozac. I have been taking celexa 10mg with some success for the last year, but I can sleep my life away.
So I switched to 10mg Prozac to give it a try. I am sensitive to meds, so the reason for the low dose. After 2 days I felt energetic and positive. But a few days later I began to feel like I could also jump out of my skin.
I was disappointed because I was feeling good, but the jitters and some insomnia have been making it tough.
I would like to continue on the Prozac because besides the hyper feeling I felt better than on the celexa.
Are you now able to take it without the topamax ? What is topomax ? Is it addicting ?
I am so sensitive to the antidepressants, that I am thinking about trying the liquid prozac at only 5mg, thinking that maybe I am taking too much for my sensitive system, and maybe a very lite dose may do the trick.
Have you tried this low of a dose with success ?
Your comments would be appreciated.Thanks
JB
