Don't read too much into what is happening from moment to moment right now, fluoxetine takes 4-6 days to reach steady-state plasma concentration with daily dosing, and the main metabolite, norfluoxetine, takes 4-16 days. Then there is the up/down regulation of receptors that really makes the difference (and if someone could provide a good reference of just what that is all supposed to be about I would be grateful).
I was on Paxil in 2001. In 2002 I went from Wellbutrin to Provigil to Provigil plus Prozac. Provigil helped me with alertness to a mild extent. Wellbutrin did virtually nothing that I noticed. I think the SSRIs made me apathetic as I just went off them after a few months both times and didn't follow up with the doc. This year I was started on Cylert but then I had lots of wierd and interesting things happen when I experimented with vitamins, amino acids, and other supplements. At the moment I'm down to just taking the Solaray complex, walking daily, and doing the Atkins induction phase diet. I think I will add fish oil after the Labor Day weekend and that'll be it until my appointment with an orthomolecular clinic happens.
Why does the case of the first letter of your forum name keep changing from lower to capital?
