You know, I'm starting to wonder if you might not be on the wrong medication more then on the wrong dosage. I think when you go in tomorrow, you should ask about trying a difrent brand. I've had great luck with Paxil, but a horrible experience with Prozac. But we had to try a few inbetween the first and last to find the right medication and the right dosage. I think it's time you started that exploration again, too. {{{HUGS}}}

You know, I've been thinking the same thing. ::sigh::
Back when my doctor originally upped my Prozac dosage, she said something along the lines of, "Well, your depression and anxiety are obviously worse than we thought." (to which I wanted to reply, "No shit.")
Today, after my yearly physical (ouch, btw), she decided to take me off the Prozac entirely and switch me over to 60 mg of Cymbalta, which will be a completely new drug for me. She said that the blankness/numbness/emptiness I've been feeling is still symptomatic of the depression, which surprised me a little. So... we'll see how that goes, I guess.
And we leave for vacation on Saturday, too. This should make for an interesting week.
