Anyone been weaned off 20mg Prozac?

[Purple Fish]

Hi, just wondering before I make an appointment with my doctor if anyone has been weaned off 20mg of Prozac? :shrug: I take 20mg a day and I`m eager to come off them as I`ll never know if I`ve actually got over my anxieties! :unsure:

I`ve been taking them for over 3 years now and have been feeling good for almost 2 years!:yahoo:

I`ve gradually gained over a stone in weight since I`ve been on them and I`m now dieting and going to the gym so I`d very much like to see the results of my hard work without the Prozac getting in the way!:curse:

ok you should make a doctors appointment for this i made the mistake of just stopping not really a good idea. I did ask the doc he said for a week take one every other day, then one every third day for a week but ask your own doc see what they say.

Prozac is one of the only antidepressants that you can come off cold turkey because it stays in your body for over a month - but I would still advise that you do it more gradually if you can.

If you've been feeling so well for 2 years, then I think it's definitely time to find out what life is like without it.

Hope you do well.

Thank you I think you`re right!!

Well, I`m now starting to take my 20mg of Prozac every other day and I`ve marked the days on the calendar so I don`t forget!

I`ll let you know how it`s going!
