Re: Best Alternative after Prozac Poopout?

Two things I am familiar with on this particular topic...

1. Add nortriptyline, starting with a half capsule (5mg) for a week or two, and then increase in 5mg steps slowly until you find a place you like.

2. Add Provigil and/or Zyprexa. A little experimentation here to see if one or the other or both together is better.

Back to nortriptyline. There are several generic versions. It is important to try at least 3 of them one at a time for a week or so. They are different enough. One may work nice, one may not work at all, one may just cause anxiety, one may feel bad. My doctor does this sequential trial of nortriptyline generics with his patients all the time. They all find one they like. It is a good companion for prozac. As are zyprexa and/or provigil.
