In reply to Prozac may very well be the key, posted by Michele on May 6, 2001, at 13:44:25
Hello. I tried 7 different AD's & countless
"cocktails" but FXR xr was the only one that actually "cured" my depression. I think this is not a drug that should be given as a first line AD. I think a discontinuation strategy should be discussed before being rx'd fxr. I think there should be comprehensive studies on discontinuation
& a protocol established for it. But I do believe this drug is the closest thing to a miracle cure we have for very treatment resistant depression, especially with comorbid conditions. I know I will catch some shit for this statement. Just (as Dr Bob would say) Please be civil.12 days med free & loving it!!!
PS As always your mileage may vary.
> >Prozac is definately a key here! I have seen soooooooo many people go through this, and just a couple days worth of prozac really makes a difference, at least to most!
>
> I am still BEYOND baffled that people take this drug. That it's even prescribed still. I see it on here.... all the new people on here asking about it and want to take it... and other people actually recommending it! There are a few defenders on here that it's worked for.... but I don't think it's even worth the risk, when there are so many other options out there... I even read about these young kids on it. It's really scary to me.

> I wrote this once in another post.... but my brother in law is a pharmasist... and he said he gets a pit in his stomache when he has to fill this prescription. He doesn't believe it's going to be around forever!

> My pdoc won't even prescribe it anymore. He told me if someone asks.... he will refer them to another doctor. He doesn't believe in adding more pain to patients already intense pain. I'm so sorry for you going through all this!! My heart goes out to you......
