I don't personally have experience with this issue, but I have friends who have used this strategy with success.

Hi EJ! Thanks. I'm actually on Prozac ironically for my depression.
I wonder if I could up a dosage for a week prior... something to discuss with a doc I suppose.

Thanks! Yeah I'm a bit worried about that, given my prior experiences with it. I just hope if I go this route again that I have better luck!
