In reply to Is anyone using Effexor Prozac together successf, posted by frustratedconfused on September 12, 2001, at 10:49:51
> I found that lowering my dose of Effexor and adding Prozac has helped me tremendously. Except that I am now HUNGRY all the time. Has anyone else had success on taking these meds together? I would really appreciate hearing about other peoples re-ations on this combination. Thanks.
I can recall two cases where patients combined Effexor+Prozac and got excellent results. In both cases the excellent results came dramatically fast within one week of adding the second agent. Why and how this combination seems to have such good synergy is a mystery to me, but yes, other people have tried it and done amazingly well with it. In theory you might think that it is because of additional serotonin reuptake inhibition, but I think the true reasoning probably goes way beyond such a simple explanation.
