Hi John,
I am the Queen of Medication Poop-Out.The stimulants Adderall, Ritilin and Provigil all poop out on me after a few days (same as Hattree), to the point where I feel 10 times worse than when I started. (I'll feel really good for those few days, and then WHAM. I'm down.)
Prozac poops out on me after two months. I have tried it 3 times -- I keep thinking it won't happen this time! But it always does.
Wellbutrin seems to help a bit for a week or so, then after that it just kind of supports me a bit -- I don't "crash" on it like the other stimulants. So it kind of "fizzles out" rather than poops out.
I guess that's about it really. I'm currently trying Lamictal + Wellbutrin, but I just started so I don't have feedback on that yet.
I've been on Zoloft and Effexor in the past -- they didn't poop out on me, did help my mood, but I couldn't tolerate the fatigue.
Good luck with your survey -- I am also interested in the responses.cindy
