In reply to Feeling very down despite Fluoxetine 20 mg 3 wks, posted by Gerri on January 20, 2012, at 23:29:58
I am very sorry about your situation. Its perfectly understandable that you'd be feeling more than a little down right now.
Maybe prozac just isn't right this time around? I'd personally just add something for sleep--ambien, a benzodiazepine (valium, ativan, xanax, etc.), or maybe Remeron. Remeron is an antidepressant that acts differently from Prozac. I think the 2 are sometimes combined to good effect. Remeron is also a very effective sedative, especially at lower doses (I forget why, but as you increase the dose, the sedative effect starts to wear off).
Anyway, that's really all I can think. Please keep us posted.
