> I stopped Prozac the first time because after about 5 yrs or so it stopped working for me. Also gained over 40 lbs but would have kept taking it if it had kept working. Over the years tried several times to go back on it but it was never the same and it would help for a while and stop working. Maybe I should try it again.
I would shy away from doing that. Once a SSRI poops out, that's usually the end of its utility. Paxil also has a tendency to poop-out after awhile, but it is a go-to drug if one wants to stay with SSRIs and has already tried Lexapro and Zoloft. Have you tried Effexor or Prestiq?
