I have been suffering from depression off and on for about 13 years. Prozac has always been very helpful for me in the past. I had a bout of double-depression a year and a half ago and upped the prozac to 40mgs from 20mgs and also added Wellbutrin. That worked for about 7 months, but the Wellbutrin caused severe sweating, weight gain and gastrointestinal problems so went off those. At about the same time I began having severe peri-menopausal symptoms and felt so horrible. Since then my Prozac seems to no longer work. As well I feel shaky and twitchy and horribly and chronically depressed for months now. I have joint pain and feel physically weak and old. I'm only 44. I'm considering switching to Paxil to help with anxiety and depression and getting off the Prozac, since it doesn't seem to work anymore. Is this has good as it's going to get?? Is there something out there that will help me.
