> jade thanks for that, i rang the hospital this morning, an spoke to my docs secretary, he only does 3 days aweek now, so the appiontment will stay as it is .wile i can still sleep i struggle on but they say come to the hospital early if major problems .its crazy in england to many pationts not inough docs you no the score,with all the e.u imigrants looking for free med care its put tht NHS in caos.i got off velafaxine no problem with none flush niacin an 5htp, recomended by a good friend.the babbler are swaying towards zoloft, whats your take on that i once did good on prozac but now my body rejects it , and it took 3 months to kick in.the secratary told me hey manic get back on your 4 loz dont try that again without asking .thanks manic, an thanks specials.
Thats right! That was one of the posts I remember you from. I thought 3 months on Prozac was very patient of you!! But you said it kicked in then. How long did it last, the Prozac? I'm not sure what to tell you other than if you responded to an SSRI in past, it seems that Seratonin is what you may need. I know someone on Zoloft (haven't tried myself as don't need seratonin) anyway, she says it puts o floor on her depression. Kinda like your 50/50 example. She may do better than 50/50, but on Zoloft, there's a floor she doesnt fall below, like your 50/50. Sorry your system sucks over there. But as you have seen, as far as results, many here just as frustrated!! Hey, you didn't say, MAOI's allowed over there?
Let me know what's up. I'll keep an ear out. I'd say go with the board, Zoloft, or maybe Doc will recommend another SSRI, he'd probably have a specific reason for that as he knows you, JMHO. Again don't know your history fully yet. Unless you can take Nardil! What are you thinking about the benzo? I hope you will take the 8 weeks to taper off. Whats your diagnosis other than depression? If thats a repeat, sorry.
Talk soon!~Jade
