Things are looking good.Took 25mg week three with virtually no side effect. Spacey feeling gone. Nausea gone. A little slower waking up in the morning, but that's about it.
Feel more relaxed. Sleeping better, which may account for alot of why I feel better, but who cares. Don't need as much Ambien to counteract prozac's insomnia.
Felt for a day of two last week that the prozac was pooping out, but no longer. I'm good. Was it the Naltrex or would I have turned it around anyway ? I don't know.
I'm not making any changes the next week. I'll stick with 50mg Prozac, 60mg BuSpar, 25mg Naltrex and see if I'm still feeling this well.
Many many thanks to Wayne R and John L. I would have never known about this otherwise.
> FYI: Based on the information I got on this board (mostly from Wayne R) I've just joined the Naltrexone club. I'm stable on 40-50 mg. Prozac but I'm at risk for another poop out and I'm already having difficulty with the side effects of prozac. I don't want to go off it but I would like to take less, and if it poops out again I can't tolerate a higher dose.

> Week Two: Dropping the dose tho 12.5 mg improved side effects (nausea and fatigue) quite a bit. Trying to get up to 25mg. Feel more mellow and relaxed. Less "wired" from the prozac. Slightly spacey though. Thought the prozac was beginning to poop out yesterday, but I'm hanging at 50mg prozac (and 60 buspar) and I'm going to wait and see what happens.
