Is this normal?!

I have been on Fluoxetine for 2years. I have slowly been reducing it over the past 3 months, and stopped taking it completely 3 weeks ago.
I cannot tell you how emotional I have been for the past week.
I've cried every single day, got upset over things I wouldn't normally and even reading a sad story is making me sob.
I've felt very lonely and isolated and this just isn't me.
This wasn't how I was before the fluoxetine so unsure why it's happening now!
I've had a particularly stressful 1 - 2 weeks but I've never been like this before.

Is this a normal reaction or am I just having a shit time?!

Have you been doing this under medical supervision or did you decide you didn’t want to take it anymore?

You should speak to whoever prescribed it to you.

Yes, my GP knows I'm doing it - it was her who advised me to do it slowly the way I have.
