Getting off prozac is a horrible experience
I'm getting slowly weaned off 40mg (on 20 now after a few weeks of 30), and oh my god this sucks so bad. It's like what i imagine having drug withdrawals is like. Shaking, anxious, sick, pooping all the time... and i feel like i'm going to cry constantly. Shitting and crying rn, literally!
Fluoxetine saved my life a few years ago but man is it difficult to drop once it's not working. I just wanna stop shaking. ( And yes, i do talk to my doc about it.) Sometimes i get the urge to just say fuck it and go back on the higher dose, but i know this isn't the medication for me. Just wish the process was quicker.
