I doubt if it is the Prozac-this sounds like a recent phenomena-I mean you haven't been complaining about attentional troubles until somewhat recently, right?? What are the doses?Why were Navane and Neurontin added-I am guessing that you became hypomanic on the Prozac? Why Navane? Yuck, I knew someone that had a major depressive episode (quite severe) and it got so bad that she got a *little* psychotic-well the first pdoc she saw stuck her on Navane with Benadryl to control the EPS that it caused without any freaking antidepressant and she got SUICIDAL AND WORSE and I had to drive her to the hospital for a 72 hour observation. She FINALLY got out and she saw our local rural town doctor (an osteopath general p.) and he put her on Triavil for a couple of weeks and then Elavil for a few more and she rapidly recovered and she hasn't needed anything approaching an antipsychotic for 20 years! If it wouldn't have been for that osteopath GP she probably would have been dead. I'm sorry, I don't have a lot of sympathy for pdocs that stick people on antipsychotics (atypical, conventional, whatever) whenever there aren't any clear psychotic symptoms. I wouldn't be surprised that the Navane is your only problem, if you are only taking a "microdose" then what's the point?
