Hey bleuberry thanks for the advice on the Prozac. As for the adderall, I've only been on it 4 months. As you say "The amount of time on them will probably be hard to undo", so I hesitate with every adderall dose. I may ask to change to Wellbutrin plus fluoxetine?
As for zyprexia and other AP's, it sounded like hell getting off them too. My doctor doesn't like I'm BP, becuase I don't experience highs or low low's, but it could fit the description of BP II. Alas, with GAD, ADHD, and BP II it's a such a fine line to distinguish the true diagnosis.
> Just for grins, if I had guessed I would have been mostly wrong. I was getting the feeling your doctor was leaning in the bipolar spectrum direction. Thanks to your clue I had concluded one of your meds was prozac. With a bipolar, anxiety, depression, mood disorder of whatever kind component, I figured zyprexa was in order. I mean, prozac and zyprexa pretty much cover the whole ballfield.

I really had no side effects and prozac felt invisible to me. I figured it was doing nothing. Bad mistake to drop the dose. That's when all hell broke loose and going back to up the original dose did not work. Somehow when I messed with prozac I pulled the plug on the whole works.
