> I know you said to wait 10 days after stopping an SSRI before starting either one (I'm still researching which one to try) But what about after stopping Prozac?
okay you are screwed :)
lostboy mentions that you need to wait 5 weeks between your last dose of prozac and starting an MAOI ... i would suggest you 1) look it up for yourself and 2) absolutely definately ask a doc as death by hyperthermia/hyperpyrexia is not the effect you want> I have been taking low doses of paxil, zoloft, (one day paxil, another day zoloft)and I've taken 10 mg prozac twice in the last couple weeks. (yeah- I've been playing around with the SSRI's- I can't seem to figure out what to do with them. They all make me feel the same way and I don't like it).
i don't want to make a suggestion as i can't seem to find a message/remember your symptoms exactly...
.... suffice to say, prozac is probably one of the worst drugs you could be taking if you want to get on an MAOI fast> Yesterday I took 10mg. prozac. Three days earlier I also took 10. How long would I need to let THAT get out of my system? And can I go on remeron in between? Didn't you say I could switch directly from the remeron to MAOI?
i'm sure there are a few different drugs you can take with an MAOI with pretty much zero risk ... lamictal or lithium, thyroid hormone... clonazepam ... quite a few come to mind... myself i have never looked into this, so i'm sure there are many others as well...
but if you need to start an MAOI, get off the prozac immediately!
take care hildi ... the SSRI withdrawal needed be bad at all
