Hi SLS,
> I wish you continued success with your treatment. Of course, you know that you endanger your treatment response to Prozac should you discontinue it for a month or longer and try to restart it. For some reason, the brain is allowed to build up a resistance to the clinical effects of some antidepressants should it be given some time to compensate without the drug being present.**i would add, that my brain seems to build up some resistance to AD even though I take it continuously. happened with cymbalta-- over the course of 3 mos my dose went from 60mg (effective) to 120mg, and then became ineffective in general. (llurpsie into hospital)
**same thing happened with zoloft. I went from 50mg which was helping lots, then it wasn't helping, then to 100mg, which helped for a while. Then I had to augment with 150BupropionSR. which is helping, aside from a bout with severe suicidal ideation (llurpsie into hospital again)
**hmmmm
> Often, the antidepressant response cannot be recaptured, necessitating a trial of alternative treatments.
>thanks for your input, scott.
Happyflower- I hope you continue to do a little better each day. Take care,
