if 125 is not enough and 150 turns you into a zombie, perhaps it is
not the best drug for you. Have you tried anything else?

I'm with Hal on this. There isn't much room between 125 and 150 mg, and
there are a lot of other medications. Why are you taking Prothiaden at all?
It's a tricyclic, and they are not the medications of choice for depression
now. My suggestion is that you discuss alternative medications with your
doctor, and if he won't have that discussion with you, to look for another
doctor.
