My doctor started me last October on Prozac because I was having trouble with depression, but mostly with mood swings. I tended to get very angry for no apparent reason then would get really depressed. The Prozac actually worked once I got up in dosage, I think 40, but my doc wanted to get me on Lexapro because he said there would be less side effects. I don't really remember any bad side effects with Prozac other then once a day I would get a shiver, and I was really really happy.
Lexapro however did nothing for my depression, even going to 20 mg a day. It did however keep me in check with my anger. The worst part however was that I could never attain orgasm during sex, and we're talking after hours here which normally wouldn't be so bad but after awhile it sucks.
So then my doc moves out of town and hands me over to his partner who puts me on Wellbutrin. Nothing, absolutely nothing except maybe getting rid of some of my depression and a constant pain in my jaw and a sense of vertigo all the time.
I just wanted to know if anyone has any success with anything or a combination of things when they have had this anger and depression problem. I'm thinking about going back to Prozac if nothing else.
