Question:
Anyone have specific suggestions for stepping off the Prozac express? Reposts? Websites that describe ways to leave Prozac without hard feelings.... I want to remain friends but end the relationship.
Answer:
Please be very careful. I jumped off the poison after two horrible years, had six weeks of withdrawal, a breakdown and I finally snapped out of it and no longer have depression. It turned out that i had a minor depression that became severe on spiralling doses of Prozac. Some may scoff, but I know what that poison did to myself and my family. I got off it the wrong way and nosedived but I did recover very quickly. I realized a couple of weeks ago that I had ont taken any of my prozac for a week. I decided that it was a good time to get off of it for good if possible. I have been wanting to get away from the side effects for quite a while especially since they seemed to be getting worse all the time, especially the headaches and my temper. About the middle of the second week I ran across some information on St. John's Wort and decided to read some more. The information mentioned easing off of prozac and building up on Stl John's Wort. The time frames mentioned were much the same as the condition I found my self in so I started taking St. John's Wort. Right now I am taking 1200 mg of .3% Hypericum and I don't have any complaints at all. I recently thought it would be inteseting to stop prozac. I thought maybe my problem had been situational and maybe the situation had changed enough that I no longer needed it . well,I must have been somewhere else when God was handing out seratonin.I feel so sad and meloncholy.I REALLY hate having to take anything . but I guess its like needing insulin or something.only with insulin you dont feel stigmatized.I guess you can always try leaving prozac....but please come back if you find life not so cool without it Its OK.
