In reply to Best med to augment Prozac, posted by Mandy on April 26, 2002, at 16:04:51
Mandy,
Perhaps you could do a trial of SAM-e to augment the Prozac. I had your same symptoms (anergy and anhedonia), caused by SSRI induced lowering of dopamine, six months ago when my pdoc suggested SAM-e. SAM-e almost immediately solved the problem. It saved my life! If you want to know more, reply to this post.

--------------------> I have been taking prozac for years with trials of other AD's but always back to prozac and am at max dose of 80mg. I still have a hopeless, joyless attitude and my doc wants to augment with
> 25-50 mg of desipramine. Does anyone have any experience with this drug--will it make me sleepy or gain wt?? Any other ideas for a good med that augments prozac. I tried zyprexa but gained wt. I also have total lack of energy and motivation but am afraid my anxiety would get out of control on a stimulant. Any thoughts, suggestions would be most welcome.
