Hi:
I can NOT see if you've been on any of mood-stabilizer, because you didn't mention in your post, here. However, as seeing your Bipolar(manic depression), I believe you've been on.In regard to 'depressive side' of Bipolar, I read that Symbyax(the combination of Zyprexa and Prozac in one capsule) is truly good. I mentioned this to my pdoc. at my last appt. due to still 'nagging' depression sometime lingering on my stressful days. However, my pdoc. said that I've been on ALREADY Zyprexa 5 mg. and then NO need of this. Also, I had a bad history of taking SSRIs, Zoloft labelled me 'Bipolar' when at first my pdoc. put the Zoloft in his initial diagnose which I had 'unipolar'/depression. Effexor made me 'racing heart' that almost made me a trip to the ER. All of this incidences on SSRIs, my pdoc. never thinks I'm a good candidate on any of SSRIs. However, in your case, you seem already having an experience of SSRIs, Prozac.
BTW, without a mood-stabilizer, if you're going to take any of SSRIs, you'll get 'manic' really bad, then be cautious!That being said, I've also been on WB sr and fairly doing well on this med. along with two more A.D.(one med., I trying to tapering off gradually tho').
As to your question, WB xl and Prozac combo., I'm NOT quite sure, ... but if you've been quite successful on any of SSRIs, then in my guess, you can. However, you may need to talk to your pdoc. before taking this combo., due to some 'bad' interactions to worry about.
H.G.
