How long do prozac withdrawal pains last and what are the withdrawal sypmtoms?
I’ve been on Prozac for 8 years. I quit cold turkey a month ago and still have brain zaps and fatigue. My withdrawl symtoms were bad the 1st week and then gradually got better. Week three was good so far as the withdrawls were extremely mild. And, now in week four the withdrawls are extreme. My brain zaps are powerful, but only when I move my head from side to side. Everything I have read states that withdrawl symptoms can last a quarter. I pray that I am getting better shortly. I’ve got to say that even with the withdrawls, I’m still pleased to be off Prozac. I feel just like a new man!
