In reply to WHY do AD's poop out?, posted by tina on September 24, 2002, at 10:14:21
About 6 years a go, I started on Prozac 20mg. It pooped out after 10 months. I believe that if I had raised the dose to 30mg, it would have kept working.
I started on Celexa 20mg 3 years a go. It pooped out after a year, so I raised it to 40mg. That pooped out after a year so I raised it to 60mg. For the past year I have been on 60mg feeling fine. I do not think that the 60 will poop out since the 40-60 range works for most people. I'll never know because I just switched to Lexapro 20mg which is a purified version of Celexa. It works really well.
To summarize my feelings on poopout, just raise the dose. It can't hurt and it wil probably help so you have nothing to lose.
