Maladaptive daydreaming

Hi, all. I've been depressed on and off for years, but it wasn't until three years ago that I actually took action. After years of not wanting to be on medication, I started seeing a psychiatrist who prescribed Prozac. And it worked. For a while.

I don't know if it's the season, the fact that I'm massively behind in school, or what, but I feel numb. I don't care about anything anymore. I watch Netflix and get lost in fantasies of being a comedian--something I've always dreamt of doing but haven't taken any concrete steps toward pursuing. The other day I read somewhere that one of the sure signs of depression is that you're having daydreams about things that are wildly out of reach, like overnight superstardom.

I do see a therapist and I'm still taking 40mg of prozac each day, but something needs to change. What do you guys recommend? Any medications that have worked particularly well for you? I want to emphasize that I'm not super keen on taking something that is going to make me gain weight.

Maladaptive daydreaming is not an official symptom of depression. Many other antidepressants have helped with maladaptive daydreaming, here is a page that promotes medical suggestions towards this unofficial diagnosis:
