luv- D takes high-dose Prozac for bulimia and OCD, as well as her depression. She was on 70 mg (which is much higher than would be needed to treat the depression alone) and after the pot incident, we lowered her dose to 60 mg (out of concern that maybe there was something slightly manic about her reckless behavior - Prozac can sometimes trigger mania. The plan was to continue to gradually wean her over a year.

I think this behavior is simply fulfilling that need for dopamine (infatuation, excitement, risk-taking). In some ways it is very like the behavior of aWAS, right down to the loss of empathy for others and for the effect you are having on others.
