    Hi there I have been on Prozac for a long time, daily dose of 40mg daily. Because of being through a really stressful time I went up to 60 Prozac but didn't feel it was doing anything - my doc suggested I take 37.5 Venlafaxine along with prozac, I was on this combo for a week then he upped the Ven to 75 and lowered the prozac to 40 . I still feel very sad and depressed, am I expecting too much as I have only been taking the Venlafaxine for a short time ?
