I wish you luck in getting off Prozac. I hope it goes better for you than for me. Perhaps it matters how long you've been on it, but I'm thinking that since I started over 13 years ago, I'm pretty much stuck with it now. It has altered me somehow so that I can't function without it. Amazing how the medical establishment seems to be so clueless about this. Or perhaps, more likely, the clues are buried under the rug due to their inconvenience. Probably the truth goes like this: 1. The patent on Prozac is expired. 2. Big Pharma is not making money on Prozac anymore. 3. Tell everyone Prozac is a fraud. 4. Convince them to switch to one of the new improved SSRI's. 5. ...which are, by the way, still protected by patents, and worth a fortune. Just a guess... Kathy – thanks for commenting.

Just a guess…

So I am not going crazy after all, what a relief. It has been 4 weeks since my last dose of prozac, and I feel like hell!! I am determined this time around to keep off this stuff (having said that, yesterday I couldn't believe I tossed the last of my pills. Some days are good and some days are so bad I don't think I'll make it. Anyway, I feel a little better after having read your post! I was really happy to read your comment.
