In reply to Stopped taking Prozac on my own...........???, posted by woolav on October 13, 2005, at 14:37:00
I came off Prozac, 20mg. about a year ago by just skipping a day here and there and finally just stopping altogether. That worked for me. Can you drop 20mg. first and then eventually the last 20? Prozac has a long half-life so basically it tapers itself down once it's no longer in your system. I would try dropping by 20mg. at first though, that's my opinion. Best wishes!
> I have been going thru major financial probs. and have not be able to fill a rx for my prozac, i am suppose to take 40mg daily. Its been a week now. I am having headaches, which i assume are a side effect (withdrawl) but I am BP2 and already taking trileptal and lamictal. I am going to try to not take the prozac, and just continue my other meds and see how it goes.
