How Can Depression And Mood Swings Be Managed While On Prozac?

Hello. My name is Edna. I have suffered lifelong depression. I have been on Prozac since 1999. I am starting to think I may be bipolar. I have mood swings. The upper ok, no dancing on tables or big spending. I do get the urge for sex, but that is as far as it goes, just an urge. I am able to accomplish a lot of things as far as hobbies . My problem is all of a sudden my mood depresses and crashes. I feel hopeless at times. Thank you very much

Hi,

It would be useful to examine thyroid function. Also, it would be useful to start Sodium Valproate and Prozac together. It would be useful to maintain especially one's sleep pattern and appetite.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Gayathri,
