Hi traveler:
Your previous post in regard to 'withdrawal' from Serzone:
>>> But now with this constant reawakening and headaches - I am not sure if it the Serzone, the Prozac, or something else. <<<<
--- Serzone and Prozac is complete different class of AD, the former has some similarity to Wellbutrin and the like, ... then in my guess, since Prozac is a 'pure' SSRI that might be causing the problem, 'pounding headache' that might be 'bi-product' of 'NOT' well-mixed ADs between Serzone and Prozac. For that reason, my pdoc. rxed Wellbutrin SR and Serzone combo. when I complained about Anxiety and insomnia problems. With this combo. I feel VERY peace in regard to dep. and anxiety.
In my knowledge, it's very IMPORTANT that med. combo. has some similarities in their properties/formularities although there is/are always some 'exception' among AD takers. At least, I'm one of them who is NOT able to take different class of ADs at a time. Probably, I can take Prozac after COMPLETE elimination of Serzone. I read, however that some of people are able to take those AD without any problem. Then, you and your pdoc. needs to know which group you're actually in.
In conclusion, it sounds to me like Serzone and Prozac has some 'bad' interaction that causing 'pounding' headaches. 'Reawaking' might be due to the lack of 'Serzone' effect in your system, ... 'withdrawal symptoms.'
