> FYI: Based on the information I got on this board (mostly from Wayne R) I've just joined the Naltrexone club. I'm stable on 40-50 mg. Prozac but I'm at risk for another poop out and I'm already having difficulty with the side effects of prozac. I don't want to go off it but I would like to take less, and if it poops out again I can't tolerate a higher dose.

Mild nausea and fatigue caused me to cut back to 12.5 mg. Feel more "mellow". No more jitteriness from prozac. Insomnia slightly improved. Mood good. Note reduced desire for wine with dinner. Hoping to ride out the side effects, get to 25mg and then experiment with reducing the prozac dosage (currently 50 mg).
And you John L? ,Wayne R, anyone else?
