Well, my intake counselor called my shrink...
Won't know why for another week, but things aren't much better; and I'm asking for the prozac dose to go up -- again. Great drug, except I seem to be adapting/building a tolerance to it fairly quickly. :(

Snowball effect, the counselor said... starting from a long time ago...

He also called me "brittle". A fair assertion; today was particularly difficult.

1. It looks like your support people are on the job.
"Brittle" generally means, more support would be useful.

:hug: to you, and remember, there are more than several similar drugs that might be useful to you.

Please keep us posted.

:)

3. I don't know about Prozac specifically
but you may not be building up a tolerance. My doc told me
that they have to gradually work up to a therapeutic dose.
My doc wants to do that with my Zoloft. I'm already taking
3 but that's apparently only half the therapeutic dose.
I'm starting to think I should go for it.

Hang in there - it sounds like you have good folks.
