I'm doing just that at the moment.
Haven't actually got the new scrip back from the pdoc yet, but it'll be fluoxetine or paroxetine and I can't see them giving me paroxetine because of it's rep for difficult withdrawal. I had some generic liquid I'd kept from a couple of years back so I started taking 10mg on Friday.
I felt an improvement in mood, energy and motivation within a few hours of taking the fluoxetine. Been off SSRI's for a few months and as miserable as all hell. It seems clear that a serotonin boost and the "activating" effect was what I was needing.
