Does Prozac Work Again After a Break? Posted: 04-21-04 17:50pm
About 3 yrs ago, prozac quit working for
me (after having worked very well for
about 3 years). Since then, i've taken
celexa and wellbutrin, but I miss the way
prozac worked when it was effective.
Does anyone have any experience with
having prozac lose its effectiveness and
then, after a period of time off of it,
going back on and having it work again?

not prozac, but I went off others and
later went back on them and they worked
again.
You may also want to look into cbt. I was
on meds for many years before I found cbt
and it cured me and got me off meds in a
remarkably short period of time. Cbt is
not like other talk therapy. A good cbt
therapist does not care much about your
past or why you think you feel the way you
do etc. A good cbt therapist knows they
cannot change what's already happened to
you but they can help you change how you
deal with what happens in your life from
here on out. It's all about using the
tools to learn to think more clearly and
accurately about things and once you do
your anxiety, panic and depression will
miraculously begin to lift before your
eyes. My favorite starter book on cbt is
"been there, done that? Do this! By sam
obitz (www.Tao3.Com) based on what I have
seen with the people I know who used cbt
the more dedicated you are to the tools
the faster and deeper the recovery
regardless of how bad their anxiety was
when they got started :d
