In reply to Now that Prozac Has Generic... Effexor XR., posted by Scott Hendrix on March 4, 2002, at 1:56:16
God, so many people have been through this medication
swizzle game and would have to attest with me that if you
have found an anti-depressant that you self proclaim "love"
you would be completely NUTS to switch ADs. The odds of things
getting ***ck** up from an AD switch are too high to blow such
a gold mind of a find. I don't really buy into the conspiracy
theory. Its possibly your pdoc is worried about the Klonopin
addiction.Screw it, this is my take. Stay on the Prozac. Don't fix it
if it ain't broken. Find a way to get your ASS out of bed.
I don't care how. Much less painful than goofing up your
ticket away from depression hell.Maybe some others will have some ideas on how to
maintain the prozac, but don't dump it if you love
it so much. What sort of idiot pdoc what suggest such
a thing. Sorry I'm so bitter that I can't find some sort
of sanity like you seem to have.Best Wishes,
John
> This may be totally ridiculas idea, but I thought I would through it out there for debate. I have been on Prozac for over a year and love it. My doctor recently decided that since I was having a problem with sleeping too long because of my explantion that the Klonopin was staying in my body to long, that he would remove me from the Prozac and Klonopin. Keep me on Xanax until weaned of it in a few weeks and put me immediately on Effexor. All I wanted to do was lower my Klonopin dosage and stay on the Prozac??? Do you think that because Prozac now has a generic form out there, Effexor is paying off the doctors to get them to switch there patients to Effexor since it does not have a Generic and is most to gain???? Let me know your ideas.
