I'm coming off Prozac

[Dizzy-Dave]

Hey all.

Haven't been on for awhile but things are ok my end. I hope you all are well.

I have decided to come off my medication (20mg prozac)

I have been taking them every other day and tomorrow I stop completley.

I've been on them for about 10 months and I havent consulted my doctor though you really should before coming off any long term medication. If I start to feel worse I will get advice.

Another note is I mainly took Prozac for anxiety and a lift. I did not have major depression.

I will update more tomorrow and tell you more why I feel it's the right time to come off them.

Even although you haven't consulted your doctor I suppose you've done the right thing gradually tapering them, so that should be a big help. Once you are off them a week or two you'll know by your mood if you are feeling better. I hope so.

ok i asked my doc about coming off these i didnt do as told and stopped i wish i had followed what the doc said he said take them every other day for a week then every 3 days and then every 4 so speak to the doc first just stopping is not a good idea

Good Luck.... Make sure your doing it for the right reasons, you need to be 150% sure rather than just 100% xx
