A. I am sorry you are not feeling well. I am at a loss to help you very much. Let your doctor know you feel bad, and see if he/she has any ideas about changing to another medication. Clearly, what you are on is not working. I would suggest using an antidepressant like Zoloft, Prozac, or Effexor in the kind of dosages we discuss in our published papers. Zoloft is 325 mg/day (average dosage), Prozac at 80 mg/day, and Effexor XR at 300 or 450 mg a day. These are all published and available in any medical library or from the drug representatives of the respective antidepressants.
