Sounds like we have the same doctor. I tinker with my prozac dose also when I feel I'm slipping into depression. He, too, says it doesn't work that quickly but I know that it does. Within 2-3 days of a dose increase (20mgs. to 30mgs) I will notice a lifting of the depression. I have developed a hard to treat rapid cycling problem since the birth of my last child three years ago. Trying to stabilize has been hell. I feel very much the same as you do and not knowing where my moods are going to be on a given day . I am trying to work with Lamictal for now. I did try Trileptal recently and was discouraged when I felt more depressed and nervous on it (doctor couldn't understand why). Did you have any trouble when you first tried Trileptal with side effects?
