Thanks Scott, as I value your opinion I will wait the 5 weeks before taking Nardil. 2 weeks down only 3 more to go. I just hope that Nardil will be the magic bullet. BTW I was taking 100mg of Prozac, along with 400 mg Lamictal, 900mg Lithium and 90mg Remeron. At this very moment, I feel confident that I will be able to wait 3 more weeks. Wish me luck, my friend.

> Prozac can be a real pain in the neck when it comes to drug washout. The half-life of the active drug and its metabolites can be a week or more. By comparison, most of the other antidepressants have half-lives of a day or less. I would feel uncomfortable recommending a washout period of two weeks or less. More like 5 weeks.
