Hi,

I enjoy Prozac with Lamictal for 18 months now. No complaints. Just be patient as it takes several weeks to build up.

Please let us know how it goes for you.

my uncle has been on prozac for about 20 years..he's a 'lifer' and happy that way I've never tried it but would be curious to know how it goes for you!

It sent me into a extremely bad manic episode.... Just letting you know the other side of things too.. Anti depressants in general are not a good idea for me though.

I took it with Lamictal with good results, but then I got depressed, and my pdoc upped the dosage. It sent me into a downward spiral with psychosis. It makes me think that maybe that first depression was a reaction to the smaller dose. I know lots of people it has helped, though when coupled with therapy.

It made me very, very mixed before I was officially diagnosed or knew the term. Everyone started talking hospital but I somehow managed to realize it was the problem and stop it without permission from my idiotic pdoc at the time and then get in to see someone actually competent. But SSRIs were all a nightmare for me and while I was on lithium it never was enough of a stabilizer alone. I know now I had akathesia; at the time it was "my apartment isn't big enough so I spend an extra few hours at work and then pace around walmart every night for a couple hours and then hope my meds put me to sleep quickly'.

I'm in a minority though; I know it helps lots of people.
