I think actually I need the S in the SSRI. I haven't had good luck with either wellbutrin or strattera (the former I took for many months, but eventually I was acting normal, yet feeling very 'dark' inside. when I went off of it I was completely relieved of that feeling. Strattera I took for only day.)
I just feel strange on prozac. That's about the best descriptor I have at the moment. I have subtly strange thoughts and feelings. Bleh.
