>Well, do you mean, poop out as in elimination or "poop out" as in the medical term (I have heard it is an actual definition)of where a med works for an extended period of time, then stops being effective for no apparent reason.
This happend to me with Prozac after 5 years or so.
Since then, other than a slight improvement with Depakote, no other meds have made it past the one month mark due to side effects, no effects. I have stayed with Depakote out of desperation, tolerating some side effects, which for the most part are small and have tried new AC Keppra with hope over hope that maybe it would work in conjunction with Depakote. But it too is going into the trash bin.
There is also the challenge of things just changing ANYWAY.
