Thanks for taking the time to write, and yes your question - how could anyone know what's doing what anymore, I started on prozac, and as far as I can tell, it's not doing anything, It was helping me at all when I was just on prozac, infact I told my specialist today that I didn't think it was doing anything, and he insisted that it probably was. okay... well the effexor I was put on that while I was in the hospital, and it's seems to allow my mind to calm down, I was in torment previously. The zyprexa was added shortly after in the same hospital stay, and it, or it in combination really dulls me, and makes me lethargic, but does help a bit with my OCD. I've been on Klonopin for years, it's a low dose, but it relaxes me, and does potentiate the prozac, but I gained tolerance to it very quickly, I wonder how much my system would notice if I went of it.Having said all that, my temptation is to quit the prozac - todays appointment was short, and we discussed other things, but I do definately want to start coming off these medications, it's almost ridiculous.
