Our posts are sometimes scary; but the more information a person has when trying to wean off, the better it may go for them. Luckily I found this site just as I was deciding to go off so did it slow and relatively pain free. I did take Prozac (20 mg) for the month I weaned off. It took about 6 weeks to go off completely after 5 years of use and now am off everything except some suppliments. I did take Omega 3 at the same time as weaning. I wish I could say I lost vast amounts of weight (didn't), but do have more energy; which was my main reason for going off. I just was exhausted all the time and gained about 60 lbs over all. I still have random leg/foot pains (not too often) and low intensiity brain zaps (infrequently); but overall am happy I did go off. There is a way to sucessfully wean off and read some old posts too to get a full picture of what may come up for you. But be encouraged that it is possible as it has been 4 months off for me.
