In reply to Prozac 140mg - no improvement - time to switch?, posted by incessant void on September 9, 2004, at 4:33:01
I don't know if your pdoc has brought this up with you, but sometimes higher doses of meds, such as Prozac, can actually make you feel MORE depressed. I experienced this myself w/ Prozac (I was taking it along w/ Wellbutrin and Neurontin). I was pretty depressed at 30 mg, so we went to 40 and I was worse, and then to 50 and i became so out of it and depressed.
Also, about the Neurontin, my understanding is that usually you have to take it about 3x/day b/c it moves through your system very quickly. I think you said that you just take it at night?
Hope that this is helpful!
