Just be careful. Prozac can be pretty stimulating.

Did she consider doing something else, like clozaril (which is an atypical but some doctors won't prescribe it) or an older drug? Loxapine is kind of on the typical/atypical border and is usually tolerated well. It also metabolizes into a tryclic AD so you get an extra boost that way. A lot of people really like haldol. Etc. Or step away from the APs and try mood stabilizers like depakote or trileptal.

I'm no doctor but it just makes me nervous that you are feeling so bad and she isn't giving you anything to counter the Prozac and decrease the already bad BP symptoms.

I hope you start feeling better soon.
