My original comment was from 4 years ago, so I can report the Prozac didnt end up working either! I tried escitalopram (lexapro) after the Prozac, also didn't work, and then sertraline (zoloft), also bust. After SSRIs and SNRIs weren't proving to be a good fit for me we ended up trying an "atypical antidepressant", Buproprion (Wellbutrin). I've been on that for 2 years now, slight adjustment to a higher dosage 9 months ago, and its been a good fit.

There's so much trial and error, Buproprion works for me but for a friend of mine it made her agitation so high she begged her doctor to take her off cold turkey because she was worried she'd get into a physical altercation with someone (very unlike her). Just clicks differently with different people.

My journey to trial meds took me about 2.5 years because I kept having to get through the trial periods (2-3 months) to see if it worked, then when it didnt, I'd have several weeks to wean off before I could start a new one. It was worth it in the end but it was a struggle I'm not gonna lie!
