Just wanted to know, because it's such a hassle to find someone willing to prescribe it and then washing out your system several weeks just to start. Plus it makes the idea of polypharmacy much more tricky. Someone mentioned the phrase "Chasing the Dragon", because when I first took prozac it helped so much and I was optimistic. Now that it doesn't work as well anymore, I'm looking for alternatives and nothing has helped nearly as much. The closest ones were Effexor and Cymbalta, but the side effects were either bad sexual dysfunction or bad bloating and weight gain (Cymbalta). Anyone else been there? Someone said going up to 150mg to 225 gets rid of low libido on Effexor, and that Pristiq isn't as bad (my brief trial with it wasn't the same calming as effexor).
