> i was put on effexor XR on monday, which turned me into a zombie. We're stopping the effexor EX today, Friday, and I'm being put on Prozac tomorrow. any thoughts or comments on this?
Sounds good to me. Go for it. I've tried them all, and my personal favorite is good ole tried and true Prozac.
Make sure and get the real authentic Prozac, not the generic fluoxetine. They are supposedly the same, but I swear they aren't. I think it makes sense to do the initial trial on authentic Prozac, and then later if it turns out good then you could try substituting the generic version to see if there is any difference. But for the trial, use the real stuff. No generics. Just my opinion.
