Re: 1000% increase in chemotherapy efficiency with prozac!
What about taking depressants, such as Ativan or Valium? Any studies on these drugs and their interaction with chemo, herceptin, AI's or Tamoxifen?
I just learned about this CYP2D6 enzyme and will ask my doc about it before and if I begin Tamoxifen. But I'd be interested in learning what my anti anxiety drugs have been doing while I've been on these other drugs (Taxotere, Carboplatin -finished in March, 09, continuing with Herceptin until Oct. 8 -17 tx's.)
