> I'm on BuSpar and my pdoc wants me to try a SSRI but I'm against them because of Paxil and the withdrawal? Any suggestions on Prozac?
You said that you had problems with the withdrawl symptoms of Paxil. I'll assume that you experienced withdrawl symptoms with regular use of Paxil. When I was on Paxil, I would get withdrawl symptom before my next pill.
Prozac has a longer half-life than Paxil, and so does Celexa.
I'm on Celexa and I think it's great.
I'm not sure whether Prozac or Celexa has the longer half-life.
I know that Celexa has the reputation for causing the least amount of side-effects.
Prozac's patent is going to expire in a few months, so it's cost might drop.
It's up to you.
