Hi Rocky,

I took Ativan. I liked it because you could take it and feel the effects in about 45 minutes, whereas Prozac has to build up in your body is my understanding, so 2 weeks might not be long enough? Might want to check with your doc on that.

My Dr. put me on Trazadone for sleeping. It worked for a long time and now have been switched over to Ambien, which doesn't seem to work that great. My best to you, hope you find the right combo soon.
