Roses Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Hi, I've just been on your profile and I just want you to know you are not alone and we are all here for you. It might not be a good idea to stop the prozac like that without talking to your GP???? I'm on a lot of tablets and have to take different pills at 4 different times a day so I know how it feels but sometimes sticking with it (or talking to GP bout changing tablets) is best thing babe. Hang in there and lots of hugs coming your way.PS - well done for standing up to your Mam it takes a lot of guts and a very strong person to do that! xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tray Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 hiyai was on prozac till feb this year when i had to stop as i devoloped a sudden allergy to it... my liver started giving in lolto start with i didnt get any withdrawels, but after a few weeks, i started to not be able to sleep again, and got pretty depressed and my OCD tendancies came back, but it wasnt worse than b4 i started taking them.i personally wouldnt stop taking them without speaking to your gp. the whole thing about re-starting the sh, and also that you are doing it diff to me seems strange and not meds related. has something happened lately, other than re-reading old stuff?when i went to sh class, they said that when u start doing it diff is when u need a bit of extra help as usually its becuase old wounds have re-opened, i think thats prob what has happened here... if i was you i would make an emergency app with gp, c if he can give u summat else to help keep u calm whilst u work throu these new feelings that u have... also dont feel guilty for sh, one other thing they said, was that sometimes we need to do a little controlled sh to keep ourselves safe, and as long as u are safe, careful then you will work throu ittake care x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuclearwinter Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Prozac has a very long half life and its withdrawal effects do not really kick in until after a week or so. I've tried going cold turkey off prozac 60mg. I became very tearful, erotomanic, felt aggressive and felt like the top of my head was going to explode. Needless to say the p-doc ordered me onto it again.nuclearwinter x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
