WHY HAVE HIGH PROZAC DOSES STOPPED WORKING? Why Have High Prozac Doses Stopped Working? Ask The Doctor Dr. Leland Heller Biological Unhappiness Why Have High Prozac Doses Stopped Working? Why Have High Prozac Doses Stopped Working? WHY HAVE HIGH PROZAC DOSES STOPPED WORKING? Why Have High Prozac Doses Stopped Working? Question: I have been on Prozac for over two years now and have done exceptionally well, except that I required high doses.  I not only have major depression with borderline personality disorder but also obsessive compulsive disorder.When I reached the 60 mg level of Prozac, there was notable change.  At 80 mg I was like a totally new person.  However, after about a year at 80 mg I suffered a relapse and my dosage was bumped up to 100 mg. again with good success.  I have been on 120 mg. of Prozac for the last 8 months and just recently suffered a serious relapse in my depression and other symptoms.  I have been taking 140 mg of Prozac for a week and finally the intrusive suicidal thoughts are disappearing.  I have also read that some patients do require high dose treatment and can successfully be treated on doses as a high as 200 mg. per day (divided doses throughout the day).I have been searching for more information on high dose Prozac and it is difficult to find.  If you have any information or can direct me to articles which deal with the use of high doses of Prozac, I would greatly appreciate it.  I do not ever want to be taken off Prozac.  It took me 12 years to get to this point and I tried many other types of antidepressants.  Prozac worked a miracle for me.Thank you for reading this. Dr. Heller’s Answer: As you’ve experienced, 80-100mg of Prozac usually does miracles for those with the BPD combined with obsessive compulsive disorders.The suicidal symptoms you’ve described are likely due to BPD dysphoria (anxiety, rage, depression and despair).  Prozac reduces the frequency of dysphoria episodes but not their severity.  The addition of Tegretol 200mg should be a miracle 3 hours later.  If not, you may need a 3mg dose of Risperdal to get you out of your dysphoric spell.

WHY DOES MY ANXIETY SOMETIMES GET WORSE WITH MEDICATION? Why Does My Anxiety Sometimes Get Worse With Medication? Ask The Doctor Dr. Leland Heller Biological Unhappiness Why Does My Anxiety Sometimes Get Worse With Medication? Why Does My Anxiety Sometimes Get Worse With Medication? WHY DOES MY ANXIETY SOMETIMES GET WORSE WITH MEDICATION? Why Does My Anxiety Sometimes Get Worse With Medication? Question: Hello sir,I wondered if you might answer the question of how a person would know if they are exhibiting GAD reactions to an SSRI, or whether it might be a slight hypomanic or manic reaction?  I ask this because I am on just 20 mg. of Celexa, and I tried to elevate to 30 mg.  One night, by taking a full 20 mg. tab. before bed, I felt very hyper and wired, with a very difficult time falling asleep.  I am taking this primarily for OCD, but I question the diagnosis that was made of this.  It seems to me that this Celexa is actually accentuating the OCD some days.  But, I believe it to be some other anxiety problem too, because just .25 mg of Xanax at night, taken with the Celexa, makes me feel great.  I don’t feel the OCD as much, and the anxiety is diminished too from the Xanax.I am on just 15 mg. of BuSpar in the morning, and I attempted an elevation to 30 mg.–with no success.  I felt very moody when I raised BuSpar up, and I felt actually more anxiety.Can you explain these reactions to me?  You have told me in the past that I might have PTSD problems, and I think I agree.  But, doesn’t that have to be a life or death situation to bring that on?  I was in a relationship a few years ago, and it was a nightmare.  Ever since then, I have never been as right as I was before that.  But, there was not any real physical violence either way.  Just an insane amount of verbal abuse and constant degrading and insulting on this girl’s part, which seemed to leave a permanent impression on me.  This is why I obsess so much before going out to a bar.  It seems that I can’t reason that not every woman will pick my appearance apart like this girl did.  The sad part is that I am a very attractive guy to almost all women I know and meet.  But, I have this chronic low self-esteem that seems to always be there and cause me to obsess over my appearance.  I feel like just elevating my Xanax to a higher dose, or asking to add something like Depakote, just to slow down my nervous system, which seems way to overactive.  But, I realize that an elevation of Xanax will likely depress me, and make me need more down the road, and I don’t want that.Lastly, I should mention to you, I will have a few good days where I feel pretty good.  Not very obsessive.  Pretty calm.  Decent self-esteem.  Happy.&nbsp Then, it seems to switch to like 3 or 4 days of very high obsessive and compulsiveness,anxiety, chronic low self-confidence, depression, high-strungness, etc.  I feel that I have still way more of these type of days than good days.Sound like a pattern to you?  Or anything that might not have been identified? Dr. Heller’s Answer: You likely do have both the GAD and PTSD (or at least an elevated serotonin 2 receptor).  The GAD is always present, usually with persistent worry.  It is usually worsened by SSRI medications like Celexa.  Generally when BuSpar causes anxiety that serotonin 2 receptor needs to be lowered with Remeron (at least temporarily).Many individuals have experienced an improvement in self esteem and rejection sensitivity from Prozac.Anxiety symptoms can come and go.PTSD symptoms do not require a life and death situation to be present, any significant emotional or physical trauma can cause some symptoms.

Question: Hello Doctor,I am very curious as to why some antipsychotic drugs, particularly Risperdal, cause weight gain.  Is it because they lower the patient’s metabolism, or is it because they cause an increased appetite?Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. Dr. Heller’s Answer: They appear to cause insulin resistance – the same phenomenon that eventually causes diabetes.  Some authorities recommend adding metformin (a diabetes medication) to reduce the risk of weight loss and development of diabetes.

What Is Chronic Dysphoria? Question: What is chronic dysphoria?  When does a symptom become chronic? Dr. Heller’s Answer: Chronic is when it persists over time, the exact length of time is individualized.Dysphoria (anxiety, rage, depression and despair) is a symptom borderlines experience under stress or when they perceive a threat.  It appears to be an epilepsy phenomenon (nerve cells firing inappropriately and out of control).  Those without the BPD can experience dysphoria under some stressors, but it’s nothing like what borderlines go through.

Question: Dear Dr. Heller,I am a professional and a graduate from Marquette University.  Due to an injury several years ago I have undergone numerous methods of treatment, but to no avail.  Several months ago I had major back surgery, the fusion.  In the past several years I have been off and on narcotics, 4x a day.This February, one year from my surgery, my pain management doctor has discussed with me getting off the narcotics.  I do believe I have build up a tolerance level because the 4 narcotics I take does not seem to help a great deal.  In addition, I have a cage in place and one bone is not healing properly and I am wearing a bone simulator, hoping to help heal the bone graph.  I do have great concerns getting off the pain medication because I believe it allows me to function on a day to day basis.I have 4 children, 3 under the age of 7.  I also work part time and my husband is overseas, so I don’t have much help available.  What is your opinion regarding the medication?From,Uncertain! Dr. Heller’s Answer: I see many patients with similar complaints.  They virtually all have posture problems so the back and neck never heal right and cause chronic pain.  By putting on a posture support in the office most of the pain can be stopped right away.  It’s like having the alignment off on your car and treating the vibration pain in your arms with narcotics – the alignment needs to be fixed.I frequently prescribe a posture support to be worn a minimum of 4 one hour periods daily.  I usually refer to a good physical therapist for posture straightening and whatever assistance is necessary.  Sometimes one leg is shorter than the other and a lift can make a huge difference.While chiropractors can help, I’ve had better results with osteopathic manipulation technique and craniosacral therapy.  These techniques are done by osteopaths (D.O.’s) who specialize in manipulation of the entire musculoskeletal system including ribs, the pelvis, etc.  I get this performed regularly on me.  Most osteopaths do not specialize in this form of manipulation and practice regular medicine, so you may need to do some shopping.
