That was an extremely interesting link, one i wish i had at my disposal yesterday when i attempted to reason with my pdoc on my prozac induced lowered sex drive, apathy, and complacency. i have better control of my ocd now, at the expense of my motivation, something i never had a problem with in the past, pre-prozac/ocd relapse i worked 40 hours and ran 6 miles most evenings, now i barely make my part-time job, and run twice a week with much effort, not in performance, but in desire to actually walk out the door.
am i totally naive, or does raising other brain chemicals to match raised serotonin, not just bring us back to point "A", only now with more meds in our systems and empty wallets.i know certain AD's hit all the main player chemicals, but since i am on only 20 mgs. prozac, and feel so apathetic, i beleive i may try the alternative route, hmmmm, st. john's wort, or sam-e, that is the question....john
