People get quite jazzed up the first week on any SSRI--they can feel anxious, restless, agitated. A benzo works wonders for this, and then it's gone by the second week. Perhaps that's what you experience?

Also, some people are slow metabolizers and react strongly to almost all meds. One way of showing a doctor that it's physical and not psychiatric that you have big reactions is to have your P450 enzyme system typed for drug metabolism. It's a routine quest lab now. It's cytochrome P450 2C19 and 2D6 that they run. Maybe more, but those I've found on the quest site. But getting those typed would cover the Prozac, benzos and Cymbalta.

propranolol
teniposide
R-warfarin=>8-

2D6

Beta Blockers:
carvedilol
S-metoprolol
propafenone
timolol

Antidepressants:
amitriptyline
clomipramine
