In reply to Alternating SSRIs monthly?, posted by orbital on March 20, 2010, at 9:58:02
Hooray! to an interesting suggestion.
I have pondered about taking all SSRI's simultaneously in micro-doses, but this is also an interesting idea. 'Which month is it? -It's Prozac month, currently, Zoloft month in three days from now.'
Prozac of course has a very long half-life, and it will stay in your blood for at least a month after having taken it for four weeks or more. Prozac also inhibits Lexapro's metabolism, boosting its levels in the blood.
Perhaps adding low dose Prozac to regular dose Lexapro might help (I won't get into the technical details here, but theoretically it could make a difference). Or adding low dose Lexapro to high dose Prozac? The possibilities are endless.
I have taken low dose Prozac (5mg) a couple of times while on 5mg Lexapro, but couldn't notice the usual effect I get (stimulation, motivation) when taking low dose Prozac on its own (or together with Valium, a combination that can work truly wonderful for me).
I suggest any Lexapro<-*+/-*->Prozac experiences will be reported in this thread.
