This may get confusing, so please bear with me.

In a dilemma here. My prozac (20 mg.) has stopped working as effectively as it was at first (been on it for 5 months) and when I visited my doc yesterday for check-up, I told her this and that I have been having trouble sleeping. Also about my major stress/panic incidences since quitting smoking. So she asks me if I want to try Zoloft and stop the Prozac. She also added Doxepin for insomnia. As far as I know these drugs interact with one another because they are different types of AD's....is mixing them safe????

I wonder why she didn't just up the dosage of Prozac instead of cutting it out completely. Argh! I am too afraid to stop the Prozac because it does work and with the Xanax at night it does help. I was able to take .25 in the morning and .25 at night and she says I can still do that in times of stress. I just don't understand ....

Am I going to have to wait another few weeks to feel the effects of the Zoloft because things were BAD I mean B-A-D bad before I started the Prozac. Maybe I'm being overly sensitive about the whole thing.

Anybody got an opinion on which meds are better? I know alot are on combinations.

I am currently taking Prozac 20mg. and Xanax .5 mg.

My doc changed that to Zoloft 50 mg, Xanax .5 mg and Doxepin 25 mg.

Opinions please...

Take care all,
Kimberly.
