    How many days did you wait to take Sertraline after stopping prozac? How long have been on Prozac? Did you tap off Prozac correctly?

      I am not an expert but it looks like Sertraline (SSRI) is definitely not for you. I suggest you talk to you doctor and consider switching from SSRIs to a different class.
