Hi Guys,

I posted this in one of the other threads, but I wanted to make sure you all saw it. I called the Dr. yesterday and he said NO don't take the Prozac and Effexor together for more than a few days.

I told him that I didn't think the antidepressants were really working. He up'ed my Effexor to 300 mg. and added something called Deplin. He said it is a vitamin based Folic acid/B12 and some other stuff. Pray this works, I can't stand this mild depression any longer.

I wake up around 7 and end up going back to bed and then taking a rest mid day- not really sleeping though (at least now I'm not sleeping for 3 hours in the afternoon) Night is better.

Anyone else taking this?

Tony,
Im' still new at all this and don't know the meds yet. But I do know a few and the one I don't know is Deplin. I hope it works for you!! I'll be praying it does so you can start to feel better. Keep us posted on how it's working. :angel:

I looked it up on the web and it really looks promising. I was shocked at the chemical make up. The other positive is that it has Zero side effects.
Check it out and see what you think.

Where do you look up your meds? I'm curious about this Deplin...does it work like Abilify? My pdoc wants me to take that but I'm terrified of side effects...

I just did a search on Deplin and the main site came up. When I got the script I read the info pack and it said NO side effects.

I have no idea what amblify does--- I'll have to look.

I just felt like the antidepressant wasn't really working. I was still so tired and just blahhh.

I guess it would help if I knew what Normal felt like. What is normal??

Very interesting, I like the "NO side effects" part! SSRI's gave me insomnia, big time. I use EMSAM, it's an MAOI antidepressant but because it is a topical patch it does not carry any of the oral MAOI risks. EMSAM has helped me a lot. This Deplin sounds equally promising, side effects are such a problem for me.

This is my third day on the Deplin and I can see a HUGE difference in my depression.!!! They say that you may see effects within a week. I like the fast acting response. It doesn't interact with other meds either!!!
