Thanks for your input. What medications are you currently on? I am afraid to stop the prozac because I always relapse into depression. Anyway, I'm always in a chronic low grade depression anyway, it seems resistant at this point. I'm also on low dose depakote and lamictal. Thanks.
I am also Bipolar II (rapid cycler). You should probably not be taking Prozac if you are BP II. Antidepressants exacerbate the mood swings.
