Hi Sarah,
Last year I switched to Prozac + Lithium. This was not a good combo for me!We chose Prozac because it has worked like a charm for me several times over the past 15 years -- but it ALWAYS poops out in about 2 months. My doc added Lithium to see if it would keep the Prozac from pooping out. But the Lithium made me very volatile, agitated, almost paranoid.
I think I stayed on it for about 6-8 months or so ... then i stopped completely because I had Mono and felt so horrible I didn't know what was causing what. Of course, I ended up severely depressed with no meds at all.
About a month later I started back up on the Lexapro again. Even though it doesn't help the depression completely, it is like a "safety net" for me, keeping me from hitting rock bottom.
Last night I added 5 mg. of Prozac to the mix ... just to see if it could augment the Lexapro and help me out of this relapse I am in.
I have tried Celexa but I couldn't tolerate the side effects -- I am very sensitive to medications.
take care,
cindy.
