My Question Is Has Anyone Had To Change From Paxil To Prozac?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

My insurance will no longer cover the Paxil so I will have to go through a transition stage and afraid the end results WILL NOT be the same.

Thanks so much! I don’t know why insurance only will pay for Paxil for one year as it has taken years to get me to where I can sleep

Everyone is different but I did well on Prozac (it is an old anti- depressant) I was on if for about 3 yrs then felt it no longer was working so switched. Give it a shot

My health and problems are pretty bad so I take a lot of medications and insurance is expensive or they don’t want to insure me so I have to go with what my husband researches and finds for.
Thanks so much for your reply and friendliness to me

Hi dear friend,
Well, I would say that is maybe the most ridiculous thing that I have ever heard in my life, and what makes it so ridiculous is that it is all about money and not about what is in your best mental health interests yo!! . . .

I have one suggestion- find an insurance company that will pay for your pail!! . .. . .

My best peace, love, and good vibes to you, my dear good friend,

Ok thought I would let you know that after all the Paxil was out of system that I nearly had a breakdown and contacted insurance company, well I was in no shape to speak with them and husband had to, so I am back on Paxil and off of Prozac. When both was in my system it helped me to get up and out and going places with hubby and granddaughter. Since I have been back on my Paxil I am still pushing myself to get up and out when Jaycee comes and ask me if I can go out and watch her in pool or out front to play ball with her so I am trying my best to keep moving.
Thanks everyone for your replies to my question.
Hugs from Alabama.
