> Thanks for your input. What medications are you currently on? I am afraid to stop the prozac because I always relapse into depression. Anyway, I'm always in a chronic low grade depression anyway, it seems resistant at this point. I'm also on low dose depakote and lamictal. Thanks.
I take Abilify, Strattera and Lamictal in the morning; Zyprexa and lithium in the evening.
Ask your doctor about replacing the Prozac with Strattera. It is a mild stimulant with antidepressant action. I like it a lot; it is much better than the Wellbutrin which I took for years.
Your depression will lift once you get off the Prozac and stick with just mood stabilizers. By the way, I really like Abilify.
