Coming off Prozac was ok too - I just stopped it - felt a bit grotty for 2 weeks but nothing more.

I fairly sure that Meg said it is ok to stop Prozac just like that - she may correct me if I am wrong.

Hi Vernon

I'm on Prozac right now and have been twice before and I'm glad to say that I've never had any problems with it - even managed to come off it with no probs whatsoever. I'm currently taking it for anxiety and to be honest, its turned my life around so that I feel I'm living again! I can't say I'm totally without anxiety and I have my bad days, but nothing like I was experiencing before and I live a pretty normal life - I go out to pubs, for meals, go on holiday etc.

Prozac (fluoxetine) is probably one of the most widely described antidepressants worldwide and many studies have demonstrated its efficacy together with minimum side effects, however all drugs have the potential of some side effects and these are listed in the manufacturer's leaflet. Thankfully, only a small percentage of people experience these but in recent years there has been a lot of negative publicity surrounding Seroxat and the side effects it has caused (again only in a very small percentage of users) hence the reason many people are so wary of it.

Best wishes, Jo x
