I used zolof for a couple of years until it pooped out and I have tried celexa. I may not have given celexa the time needed to be effective as I discontinued it and went back to old reliable prozac. I wonder if zoloft and prozac have been scripted together before? What about the poop out factor? Do all ADs poop out?

> > In my desperate attempt to get depression relief, at least in the waking hours, I decided on my on to take 2 extra 20mg prozac capsules and in a couple of hours, although I had a slight headache, I noticed that my depression was gone. This was not the first time I have taken high dose prozac. In fact I was up to 160mg and decided to drop back down to 140mg hoping to get the same relief which I did. Problem solved, right? Not!! My pdoc refused to rx 140mg and would only go up to 100mg of prozac and add all these other meds as follows:

I have a pdoc appointment on 3/16 and will again request a high dose prozac of 140mg since this appears to be the AD that I respond to. My concern is with all the other AD's which I want to slowly taper off of. Also prozac has already pooped out on me at 80mg before and am I going to have the same problem at the higher dose, if my pdoc rxs it?. Any comments or ideas? Thanks.
