Coming off prozac, how was it for you?

[naturelover]

I've been on 20mg a day for a year, I started taking it during 2nd trimester of pregnancy.

Three weeks ago I dropped to every second day, then I stopped completely six days ago. All of a sudden yesterday I started feeling odd (physically) and have done what I should have done days ago and actually googled the withdrawal symptoms... I see that what I'm experiencing is totally normal and I hope it will pass soon.

I will do my best to make life as stress-free as possible in the next few weeks to ease the transition. I will also try to get some exercise and eat well.

However sleep is an issue because my 7 month old still feeds three times a night and I'm exhausted all the time. Perhaps I was foolish to stop the prozac now?

My main concern however is that I'm breastfeeding and I'm now worried that my son will also have some kind of withdrawal too. Anyone have experience of this?

Thanks in advance.
