Carlos, I gradually worked up to 25 mg over a period of a week. The only side effects I experienced were back and sholder aches and was not overly sleepy. It was about two weeks until I really felt it kick in. What AD are you augmenting? Wayne

The AD is 100 mg sertraline daily

After how many days has the mood improved with you?

Hope it's OK if I jump in here from my naltrexone
thread above...

Wayne--
I'm happy to see you discuss your dosing as I've
been wondering whether starting at 25 was too
high for some people of a *sensitive nature*.
At what precise dose did you start and how did
titrate upwards? And by the way, no sexual side-
effects of any kind? Naltrexone's been of major
interest to me since I've seen your and Dr.
Dante's postings!
Thanks,
Jim

I tend to be sensitive to many medications and so I was cautious when beginning Naltrexone. I chopped a 50mg tablet into 7 pieces and took the smallest fragment first, and so on. So on the eighth day I was at 25. I believe that it was about two weeks before I really noticed a big change.

I tend to have a reduction of sexual desire on most of the SSRIs. I can't say that I noticed any difference from just being on the Prozac 20 to when I added the Naltrexone. Wayne

Hey Wayne,

I was just wondering if you take any other drugs other than the 20mg Prozac and 25mg Naltrexone. Do you take anything to get a good nights sleep? How about anxiety? I've read that Revia can help alieviate anxiety but I've also read it can make it worse. What's your experience? Thanks for all your posts. I'm planning on showing them to my doctor. I'm being treated for OCD and I've read an article that Revia can help with the OCD. Looking forward to your response. Thanks again.

Mike

I am taking ONLY Prozac 20 and Naltrexone 25! It is glorious not to have to take the sleeping aids, anti-anxiety meds, etc. that I often was on in the past during various attempts to get something to stick. Wayne...

 

Carlos, how goes it?
