Hi Josh,
I've spent months at a time in bed, and like you found that Prozac worked wonders but haven't found an equally good medication. I'm currently on Lexapro which helps a lot with my anxiety, but getting out of bed in the mornings is still a struggle. I've been thinking about adding Wellbutrin to my med combo, did you try that? Wellbutrin is supposed to be stimulating and also has anti-depressant effects.
I feel for you. In addition to trying to find the right med, get a good therapist and try to do something at least once or twice a week that gets you out of the house. (Even if it's something like going to rent a video.) Please keep us posted on your progress...we'd all love to see you take pleasure in getting out of bed!
K.
