I’ve been on Prozac many years and added Lamictal a couple of years ago for BP11. Three months ago I lowered the Prozac from 20mg to 10mg because of sexual side effects and some cognitive dulling from the Prozac (all this was present before adding the Lamictal).
After about a month on 10mg I started to get depressed so I went back up to 20. I was still getting depressed so I went up to 30mg figuring that if I stayed on 30 for 10 days I could go back to 20. After about a week I would get depressed again so I went back up to 30 for a week and then did 20 a day/30 every other day. That still didn’t bring me back to where I was before I lowered Prozac from 20 to 10.
So know I’m going to stay on 30mg I just don’t know how long I should stay on 30 or for that matter if I could ever go back to 20mg. I’m sorry I screwed around with the dosing because other than the sexual/cognitive side effects I was doing really well.(BTW it's 200mg lamictal).
Anyone with a similar experience or any advice on how long I should stay on 30mg of Prozac?
Thanks
