I recently switched from Zoloft to Prozac because Zoloft was causing me serious hair loss issues. When I mentioned it to my pdoc he said, oh, yeah, Zoloft can cause hairloss, he's seen it plenty of times but only in women. Lucky me, I'm like the tenth patient of his to have hair loss issues with Zoloft.

Now to the problem. Prozac seems to be making me angry at the stupidest things, and has made my problems with being out in public so much worse than they wee before. I felt like I had made significant progress and now I feel like I've lost ground. I've only been on Prozac for five days, but it seems to be doing more harm than good.

Anyone else ever run into this? I'm thinking I need to stop taking it, and cannot seem to find a good reason not to stop. I just feel like I'm playing russian rulett here with meds, I've had to stop so many because of side effects. Welbutrin has been keeping me from killing myself (very, very good thing) but I go toxic on 300mgs so I've got to stay at 150. In the meantime it is not quite enough alone. I had to stop lamicatal because of a rash, Topomax because I was suffering eyesight problems and the tiniest dose of Paxil nearly killed me.

Any thoughts?
