Sarah -- you should talk to your doctor about the fact that Prozac doesn't seem to be working -- do not stop taking it on your own -- that can trigger severe depressive symptoms. Your doc can help you taper off properly and get onto a med that will work. One of the quirks of Prozac is that, in some people, it does not work as well the second time around. Your doctor needs to know so that he can give you a different dose or different medication.

It is very important that you not drink any alcohol when you're on Prozac. It sounds like you are self-medicating. Getting the correct meds could help significantly.

There is no reason to feel awful -- I know because I suffered from OCD and major depression for years. Please tell your doc without delay.

Best wishes -- I hope you start feeling better soon.

There are so many meds out there. Do keep trying until you get one that suits you!!! Prozac didn't agree with me at all!!!

Avoid complicating the problem by adding another depressant into the mix, especially if what you said obliquely means you are really drinking a whole bottle of wine every night.

There are people who can help with that side of the problem as well.
