In reply to HELP! I am too tired on meds, posted by Dona on October 11, 2001, at 15:03:26
> I am taking prozac 60mg for depression and zyprexa 10mg was added a couple of months ago.
Did adding Zyprexa help?
But still problems sleeping so now on remeron 15mg and am sleeping all the time now.
When I first started Remeron, especially the first night, it knocked my ass out. As I worked up to 60 mg it slowed me down much less and I may have even lost a few pounds.
And, as you know, depressives on meds are always trying to loose weight. I'm going to be calling a few gyms this week to see if any have a personal trainer that concentrates on facial-bloating. I figure that person probably will know how to make 3 chins disappear, also.
I think I should stop zyprexa but can I do that all at once or should I taper?Go to your doctor before stopping any med.
Anyone taking any of these meds, which combo is best??
There's the $64,000.00 question.
Or should I stop prozac and try another SSRI? I would just like to have energy again but still be able to sleep. I feel like I will never get better.
Depression never makes anyone think that things can be better, that's not a depressing thought.
I've been with the same pdoc for 2 years and it has taken a very regimented trial of endless combinations to find one that now, is letting about 75% of the sun in. If your doc is good and you've armed yourself with knowledge from this board..you'll get there.Phil
