Colleen, yeah, prozac is sure worth a shot. The jump start thing. The sedation thing. It makes sense on paper anyway. Of course, to play the other side, you know how mileage varies.
Prozac was termed by some researchers as an atypical ssri. While all the others are actually relatively similar to one another, prozac is quite unique from them all. Possibly because it antagonizes a certain serotonin receptor where none of the others do, and that results in stimulating the release of norepineprhine and dopamine in addition to the serotonin enhancement.
I would start at 10mg. If you get 20mg caps, you can empty one into a glass of juice, stir it, drink 1/4 or 1/2 glass, put the rest in the fridge for the next day, then stir again, and so on.
Another good thing about it...since it is generic it is cheap.
