Roo, So you are just taking 20mgs of Prozac now for unipolar depression? I have taken all of the anticonvulsants (except 2 or 3) for bipolar and I found Trileptal somewhat activating (150-300mg/day), but Topamax blurred me out pretty bad. There is another one that was activating as well (at lower doses)..Gabitril (4-8mg/day). Also lower doses of Neurontin are activating, too. If you keep the dose between 200-600mg/day, it is used for ADHD. That might help you as an add-on.
good luck
