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!
what’s the best methodology of withdrawal from prozac?
unlike any other mood depressants, prozac has a long half-life so it stays in your system for a while, even after you stop taking it– it’s slowly eliminated from your system so you don’t really suffer a dramatic withdrawl. However , as with all antidepressants, you need to cut back before stopping. Then you can stop absolutely.

Prozac is generally a weight reduction drug,so in general watching what you eat and exercise during and or after taking the drug should help. If a healthful way of life does not help have your thyroid checked. Prozac can infrequently affect the functioning of your thyroid which may inadvertently be slowing down your metabolic rate.

Can you change from Prozac to Wellbutrin without weaning off Prozac first?
Prozac is a stronger and different form of medication, and you will not act the same way you did when you move to Welbutrin.
It is safe to take Welbutrin and Prozac at the same time. If you make a decision to move over, wean onto welbutrin ( this may be rather quick due to welburtin has few sideeffects and you commence with a high dose rather quickly ) ; then after a couple of weeks to a month keep a book.
During this time-frame keep a journal of your behaviours every day. Note down the days that you are upset for no reason, and the days that you are intensely content, also note any other behaviors that are outside of your normal. This could help you identify is Prozac is good for you or not. It will also let you know that when you come off Prozac completly, Welbutrin may not be ready to control your agitation and depression alone.
