In reply to Best med to augment Prozac, posted by Mandy on April 26, 2002, at 16:04:51
I have been on Prozac for the last three years and I truly believe it to be my miracle drug. Recently though, I had a major relapse in my depression and my dosage was gradually increased to 160 mg. I also have OCD. At this dosage my depression has improved dramatically, however, a feeling of sadness remains. I have heard that sometimes Tegretol is added to Prozac. I will be asking my pdoc tomorrow about this -- perhaps others have heard of this regimen. SaraMarie
> I have been taking prozac for years with trials of other AD's but always back to prozac and am at max dose of 80mg. I still have a hopeless, joyless attitude and my doc wants to augment with
> 25-50 mg of desipramine. Does anyone have any experience with this drug--will it make me sleepy or gain wt?? Any other ideas for a good med that augments prozac. I tried zyprexa but gained wt. I also have total lack of energy and motivation but am afraid my anxiety would get out of control on a stimulant. Any thoughts, suggestions would be most welcome.
