Sounds awfully frustrating for you, Jah.
For what it's worth, Prozac is initially helping me (I'm Bipolar, with more trouble with depression, although as I get older the mania is increasing). But as I recall, you have tried Prozac before.
Thanks for your input. I can't recall if you tried Topamax, but it has been helpful for me, except for the sedation. The bad side effects - you know, slowing of cognitive skills, etc. - did go away for me. And it is calming, especially augmented with Neurontin.
So I was hopeful that combining the two, Lamictal, an activating med, and Topamax, a sedating one (for me) would work. We'll see.
I think I have the flu right now which is interfering. How can one tell whether it's the meds or a simple little virus causing headaches, fatigue, and general malaise? :)
Take care.
