In reply to Difficult prozac washout before EMSAM, posted by Roslynn on May 10, 2008, at 15:23:18

> My pdoc and I have decided to try EMSAM. The problem is the washout for Prozac which I have to be off for 5 weeks (!) before starting the EMSAM. It's only been a few days and it's really hard so far.
> Would it make sense to ask my pdoc for a "bridge" prescription--for example, switch to Zoloft (which works a little for me as well), take it during the remaining 4 weeks then have only 1 week without an SSRI in my system?
>I think that a very reasonable idea. Stimulants and benzodiazepines may be useful alternatives also, depending on your particular difficulties.
