Hi everyone,

I only have 8 pills left but won't be seeing my psychiatrist for 2 weeks as that is the earliest appointment. The bottle says no refills, so I'm not sure what to do! I'm on 20mg a day and this is my 22nd day on Prozac.

    Yes, agree.  Call your doctor and explain.  You need another prescription - you can't just stop this medication.

    If you are in US, just go to the pharmacy where you regularly refill & mention your situation, normally they will give you a medicine for a weeks’ time when you are out of refills.
