Prozac isn't kicking in...

Posted by Conundrum on January 19, 2011, at 10:25:30

Usually by now I would have noticed some positive benefit from the dose of prozac I am on, 5 mg every other day, but this time its not happening. Nor am I getting the usual side effects like diarrhea, headaches, and sexual dysfunction. Perhaps the trials of remeron, tianeptine, and adderall changed something in me and I need 5 mgs? I think I should know for sure by the end of the week if it is working. The last time I took it, it took 28 days to work and the side effects started a lot earlier.

I did take 5 mg everyday recently, but it just made me feel flat. I'm debating on whether or not to try 5 mg now that the effect of the drug seems to be weaker.

Also my pdoc wants me to go to the treatment resistant depression clinic at UPenn in Philadelphia. Perhaps they would have a better idea, cuz even if the prozac helps a little, I doubt I'll be able to increase it or that flat feeling may come back.
