> I would say that if something works for your mood, don't switch. I say this because if the thing you switch to doesn't work, and you go back to Prozac, there's no guaranty that it will work again the second time around. That has been my experience and the expereience of some other people on this board. Also, there's no guaranty you'll even be able to tolorate it the second time around. This is just my humble opinion.

> MBI agree .... I am sorry if I suggested to go out and switch medications now. And yes, people may not get benefits from a medication during a second trial. Also, I have heard many people develope tolerance to side effects over time. Finally, some individuals are treated for 9 to 12 months and sucessfully taper of medications without relapse .... so may have to accept some side effects for that brief period of time. And all medication have side effects! Just wanted you to know there are alternatives if side-effects become intolerable.
