Wow, I am on a lot of SSRI

Posted by Deneb on December 6, 2010, at 18:42:46

I saw pdoc today and she increased my Celexa. I think I'm on a lot of SSRI now. I now take 30 mg Celexa AND 60 mg Prozac.

I think she is thinking of further increasing the Celexa because she said we will "start" with 30 mg.

Anyways, is this unheard of?

Am I on a lot of SSRI? How high can I go?

What? Ask her if she knows about 'serotonin syndrome' I do not understand why she would not just raise the prozac?

No. But it is a stupid idea in my opinion.

> Am I on a lot of SSRI? How high can I go?

Yes. I rarely recommend SSRI's to anyone, after what I have SEEN, and STUDIED and RESEARCHED about them, let alone an increase in either of the doses.

What is you dx anyhow?
