How To Treat Depression While On Viibryd,zoloft And Prozac?

I was prescribed Viibryd for my depression and it seemed to be working really well, but even with my insurance it was going to cost me $150 a month and I just cant afford to pay that much. I was also told that there is not a generic for it. I am taking Zoloft again and I have use Prozac, but I still have moments of depression. Thank you.

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

If you are taking more than two antidepressants and more getting any benefit, that means you are towards resistant case of depression. To get relief with drugs, dose should be optimum and in best combination. Zoloft and prozac are same group, so there is no need to take them together. Rest you can consult your psychiatrist for best drugs combination that could help you.

Thanks
