Thanks Ed,
Yep ... you are right.
It might like Linkadge suggested in his mail before his last one be a good augmentation for Prozac: Prozac in the morning and Nortrilen in the evening before going to bed.
I want to discuss this with my pain doc next time I see him, but it seems to me Nortrilen will be a good agent against pain too (being a nor-epinephrine uptake inhibitor).B.t.w. I started Prozac again yesterday (and stopped Cymbalta).
I had so much trouble at my job: feeling gloomy (a very un-Prozac like state-of-mind for me), nauseous, weak and paranoid (suspecting nasty motives from my boss and my manager and expecting bad things to happen which could turn out to become true because I had trouble functioning) that I finally threw the towel in the ring.
Yesterday after taking P. I felt already better: it appears as though the stimulant properties of Prozac help me quite a bit for some time (and maybe the anti-depressant effect does too (noticeable after 2 or 3 weeks)).(In the first instance before posting here I had been thinking of imipramine (and of desipramine before) because it is one of the most appreciated a.d.s (that is ... according to askapatient.com).
Those are not rules of course; like many on this board already said "everyone is different" (many react differently to these a.d. meds .))
Cheers,Robert
