Good questions- no one had an easy answer, but my doctor said in fact, reports of the phenomena, known as "prozac poop-out" have started to show up in med journals.I was on it for about 10 years, great at first, and then it slid off somehow. I've never managed to get it to work again- no incrreased dose, nothing. No other ssris, either. Some brief relief from Wellbutrin, before that faded too. Now I'm doing a drastic change by going with the EMSAM, fingers crossed.
Honestly am unable to come up with any life event which could have triggered my response to flop. I've always been a vigourous excersiser. I started prozac when it first came out-I think that was 1988 89? and used until almost 2000. So- mostly during my 20's until about 30. Then zoloft one year, with tepid respponse, even to highest allowed dose, then that fizzled after less than a year. Trouble ever since.
Hormones? Unsure. I've been through a zillion blood tests, though.
