Anita,
I seem to be doing the best on a combination of Zoloft and Prozac. I was trying to transition from Zoloft to Prozac and had gotten completely off of Zoloft. But 20mg Prozac was not enough even though every time I tried to increase it, I would have nasty side effects.
When I told my psychiatrist that I felt the best on a combination of the two, he agreed that I should go with that. He said that combination is unusal and he only has one other patient in that situation. But since I am not on a high dose of Zoloft or Prozac, he felt that chances of serotonin syndrome were not greater than if I was taking 100mg Zoloft, which is what I was previously on.
I almost have the dose right, just need to tinker a little more. Anyway, sorry to throw a wrench into your poll, heh, heh.
Good luck with your situation.
Shirley
