Hi
I don't know how you stopped Prozac but you seem to be suffering withdrawal symptoms. it takes a while you can overcome those symptoms. I truly hope you won't suffer much. please take care.

Hello Leanne,
Of course you will need to discuss with your doctor the best course for you, however I do know that 16 days is a short amount of time. The medicine needs a while to work in your system. the side effects are definitely VERY hard ( I am dealing with them too ) but this is my second time around so I do have the hope that it will work again as it worked once. if you can find the strength, then give it at least 3 months because that is around when I began to feel a lot better last time. I am doing the same thing again. I hope you feel better soon.
