Prozac 15 years….

Hi all, I finally acknowledged depression when I hit the change (15 years ago) and accepted, after a period of denial, Prozac. It took a while to have an impact, along with counselling, and I never thought I’d give it up as I felt ‘stable’, for the first time in recent years.

A couple of years ago, my dose was increased following the loss of my husband. A few months ago, I decided that I didn’t like the fuzzy head and emotional numbness and gradually reduced my dose back to 20mg a day. The last two months, I have completely withdrawn from Prozac slowly and am now 2 weeks completely clear.

I’m having terrible night sweats and such vivid dreams but to be expected, and so far, no dip in mood, at all. Can anyone share their withdrawal experiences and symptoms please? Thank you
