> i've noticed an improvement with my mood over the past months, nothing euphoric, but prozac just makes me feel content, not high or euphoric, just depression leaves, and i feel everything is alright, wellbutrin was more stimuating and getting things done, and strattera was more attention wise, but it made me very irrtible and prone to snap when i was angry......

> it's not sedating, sometimes prozac can make you speedy but not psychostimulant wise, but if i take zyprexa and lamotragine with prozac is has as stabilization effect, if i don't take them then prozac can make manic, and very talkative but it will alter nuerotransmitters too much

> lithium, i was gonna go on lithium but i talked to my doctor and i asked her to just increase the prozac to 80mg, because she was gonna use the lithium for the dark depression i had......lithium is stablizer and is more for manic stabilization, but still i've read it's good for depression

> rR,
How are you doing on the Prozac? Are you still at the 80mg dosage? Just curious.
I had been taking fluoxetine @ the 40mg dosage for years, then cut back to 20mg a day with no drop in efficacy. Then I discovered the benefit of adding low-dose of clonazepam for anxiety. Just in the past year, my pdr decided he should up the fluoxetine dosage to 40mg again as to ween off the use of clonazepam.
I'm not too sure the 40mg dosage isn't causing increased anxiety & irritability.Rudy
