i was on the higher 9mg dose for about 10 days with no change. i was sick and miserable after more than 5 weeks, and sure nothing would change.
after my first depressive episode - 13 years ago, i was put on prozac and responded wonderfully. i stayed on it for about 8 years.. gradually increasing the dosages over the years. i get SAD, and then one winter, the drugged must have pooped out.. and i just crashed. thats when ever med in the world got tried... ECT.. everything... finally it was lexapro that brought me round.
unfortunately the next winter - same crash. more experiments with more drugs. nothing seemed to work except ironically the lexapro again.SSRIs seem to be the only thing i respond to, so i begged my doctor to try the prozac again.
I actually moved to san diego over a year ago to avoid the east coast winters thinking that would help.
i just cant stand all the side effects of everything else out there.
wish me luck. i am running out of choices.
