    I don't know too much about medication - I have had Prozac myself in the past and was definately told that they had to be tapered off not just stopped suddenly.

    Here's a post about a good helpline to phone.

    Tablet advice line - useful!!!

    I stopped Prozac and felt a bit dizzy for 2 weeks and then nothing more.

    It is one drug that you can go cold turkey on though not recommended but you will be fine.
