Overall, though, I was depressed, somewhat suicidal -- more in the 'it's just not worth living' than anything more active -- anxious, sedated, amotivated, and constipated. I don't know which of those was the worst, but the last was way up there on the list.
Of course, if it's been working for you, well, then don't fix what ain't broke.
I don't have any direct experience with anti-psychotics, but what Scott said makes a great deal of sense to me: split it up into its component parts, if the Prozac portion isn't working adequately, it's easy enough to try something that might help more. Plus, of course, you can fine tune your dosages.
I hope things get better soon, Phil -- and that your doctor grows a clue. Or you find a new one who does. (Do you have any choice in who you see?)
