10ac- athlete back on prozac at first, for preparatory examination (6) - ?R????
7d- top stop? (8) - ??????E?
8d - rehearsal - game over for spooner? (5,3) - trial run? Why?
23d - temperature in neither liquid nor gas, cool (6) - ?T?L?? - stolid?

athlete = MILER, ... back = RELIM, first of prozac = P, so exam = P-RELIM.

See - game = rummy, over = dun, spooner's rummy dun = dummy run.

Thanks all, very helpful. Can't understand why 5ac is stupid, though. I understand the moronic part, but not the first part of the clue. Can someone explain?
Thanks

5a. good= pi , boss= stud

[bibblebub]

good = PI, shortened form of 'pious'
boss = STUD
