> BLEH! Well, it's day 4 of my switch. Last night I called the psychiatry call center because I was just feeling horrible. So, I'm supposed to take one 37.5 of Effexor for a few more days, at least until I transition to 20 mg of Prozac. I hope that it is just the transition that is making me depressed, because I just generally feel yucky. However, I don't feel as bad as I did yesterday, probably because I have some Effexor back in my system. I feel depressed and my head hurts, but now my back doesn't hurt, and the heachache is probably that side effect of Effexor that I'd trying to get away from. I wish I felt better. I have a big job interview tomorrow. I don't feel prepared. I'll get some sleep tonight, and hopefully that will help.

> Again, I'll keep everyone who is interested posted. -BonnieHey Bonnie, Sorry to hear it's taking some shifting around with the meds to get things working. I'm praying for you though that it'll get right really soon. I finally was able to take a prozac today after waiting for the emsam to leave my system. I had been having vertigo and general dizziness on Friday and Saturday, so the doctor switched me back to Xanax from Ativan, and cut my Lithium from 300 mg 3 times a day back to once a day. Needless to say, I'm anxious beyond belief, and crying from the depression. I've always had a quick response from the prozac, so God willing I will again. Pray for me too. Paul
