DH stopped taking Fluoxetine after 9 mths. He swears his Dr said "just stop when you finish this pack"

but I had assumed he would need to drop to half dose, or alternate days or some such...

He's ten days in now, and little changes at work are stressing him out.

I feel he's downsliding.........

Should I drag him back to Dr's now, or let him get over coming off them?

As with all ad's you have to wean yourself slowly off of them, to allow your body to adjust. In the patient information it will say not to stop suddenly. If the dr had said this they should be monitoring him very closely.

Depending on the strength they should have cut that down first or take a tablet on alternative days.
After 10 days if he is going down get him back to the doctor at least so they can see how he's getting on without the tablets. hope this helps
