>Mixed response to Prozac. It enabled me to get organized, to get out of the house, initially gave me increased energy and stamina, quieted a thought-cycle of fears, and soothed some anxieties.
It also caused suicidal ideation, hopelessness, an inability to talk, and an inability to communicate or even discern my own emotions. And as time passed, I was completely consumed by apathy and hopelessness and thoughts of death.
Note: Concurrently, I was taking Adderall, Amitriptyline, Wellbutrin, Serzone, and Prozac.
Neurontin: the only med I've tried on that list and it is helping considerably. The depressive aspect of my being is what I'm currently working on, as the winter holidays are nearly upon me.Neurontin hasn't had a noticeable effect on my anxiety, phobias, or panic attacks yet, but I'm still holding out hope...
Note: Concurrently, I am taking Adderall, Amitriptyline, Serzone, and Neurontin.
Prozac versus Neurontin for depression would result in the winner being Neurontin. If we were talking about organizational skills, memory enhancement, getting things done, the winner would be Prozac.
