> While on Prozac 20mgs, I had to consume massive quantities of coffee (8+ cups!) at various points throughout the day to concentrate and to assuage the foggy feeling. I developed GERD and thereafter had to limit myself to 2 cups a day max. The need to consume large amounts of coffee was also a problem before Prozac, but was definitely exacerbated by the med. Eventually I was diagnosed withh ADD and medicated accordingly. I too consumed caffeine with Ritalin (20mg/day), although the under-3 cups per day dose. Sometimes, I would develop weird (at times scary) fluttering pains in my chest, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend it. But I did find it especially necessary to consume coffee in the morning to function before the Ritalin began to fully work.
Thanks for your imput...I'm starting to think Caffiene, other than a little in the morning,is a dead end.
