Help stopping Prozac

[carrob]

I was wanting to get some feedback about the best way to wean myself off of my Prozac. I've been felling better and I think I'm coming to terms with things. Of course, I realize it may be the Prozac making me feel this way!!!! But, I'd like to try to eliminate at least one drug from my life. I know the key is to go very, very slow. I take 20mg twice a day now.

Do any of you have any experience with this?

Your doctor would be the right person to answer those questions for you. How long have you been on the med? Is there a specific reason you want to stop it? Consider talking to the doctor that prescribed it.

Carla,

Prozac needs to be titrated into your system and out of your system. See the doc that put you on it and tell him how you are feeling and tell him why you want to come off and he will let you know how to do it. It can be very dangreous to take yourself off some meds and Prozac is one of those meds. Congrats on feeling better and being ready to come off! Let us know what the doctor says!
