[I also wanted to mention, that I am one of those folks on fluoxetine, or generic Prozac. 10mg. The fluoxetine has remarkably reduced my cravings for carbs. So it will be interesting to see how this combined with Phen will effect my weight loss. I do understand the risks of Phen/fluoxetine and I am under a Doctors supervision.

Hi there AZ,

I have been on Prozac( now generic), Zoloft, tried Celexa, etc.
Lexapro for many years, about 5-7 for anxiety w/mild depression. FIRST, I can tell you that 10mg of Prozac, is an very LOW DOSE, most people take 20-40 mg. I am on 60 mg. of Cymbalta, and have been for over a year or 2 safely built up to it. I see Psych DR. ev. 3 mos. for med. mgmt.
She is fine w/ the 30mg of Phen, but asked me to watch my BP. My regular Dr. is also working w/me ev. 3-5 mos. for blood work and checks my BP, as well as i check at the food stores.
It was 166/108, before Phen-I was TOOOOO heavy and had bad asthma. **that is improving as well**
I am HAPPY to report, my BP is 130/83 these days and about 16-17 lbs. gone since 10/29/07. Everyone is diff. how they react, so pls. trust yourself and your Dr.'s.
I hope this makes you feel more at ease!

PS-You name the psych. drug I know about it, even Wellbutrin! Also, married to a Psych. major-GOD help me-13 years now!!!
