In my desperate attempt to get depression relief, at least in the waking hours, I decided on my on to take 2 extra 20mg prozac capsules and in a couple of hours, although I had a slight headache, I noticed that my depression was gone. This was not the first time I have taken high dose prozac. In fact I was up to 160mg and decided to drop back down to 140mg hoping to get the same relief which I did. Problem solved, right? Not!! My pdoc refused to rx 140mg and would only go up to 100mg of prozac and add all these other meds as follows:
100mg prozac, 400mg lamictal, 1500mg lithium and 90mg remeron. I have a pdoc appointment on 3/16 and will again request a high dose prozac of 140mg since this appears to be the AD that I respond to. My concern is with all the other AD's which I want to slowly taper off of. Also prozac has already pooped out on me at 80mg before and am I going to have the same problem at the higher dose, if my pdoc rxs it?. Any comments or ideas? Thanks.Flipsactown
