MJK,
You might ask your doctor to substitue Provigil in place of other stimulants. I suspect most of the good effects your medications had were due mostly to the stimulant, somewhat to the synergy of the Prozac+stimulant combo, and least to Prozac alone. As a safer less addictive and much smoother stimulant, you might want to take a look at Provigil. It has recently been documented as a good augmentation for antidepressants. I can confirm that from personal experience.
I can't help but be a little biased, because while Ritalin or Adderall worked fairly well for me, Provigil blows them away bigtime. I can't say enough good about Provigil.
