Taking Prozac for 3 weeks, benzos/stims don't work

Posted by incubusfan5 on April 23, 2009, at 12:20:51

After some unsuccessful SSRI trials in the past, and being unable to tolerate MAOIs or TCAs, I've gone on an SSRI I've never tried before, Prozac.

I took 10mg for the 1st week and a half, and 20mg a day from then on. The only thing I've noticed thus far is Valium no longer does a thing to me; also, my adderall doesn't seem to work either. My doctor told me to be careful with the Valium and Prozac, as if the Valium would be more potent, but it seems to neutralize it entirely.

Does anyone know what the mechanism behind this may be? I've read something about Prozac affecting something with the 2D6 in the liver, whereas most SSRIs don't. Does it have something to do with that?

Thanks!
