GARY, DON'T STOP TAKING PROZAC OR ANY ANTI-DEPRESSION MEDICINE RIGHT AWAY. TRY A WEEK WITH 1/2 THE DOSE . THEN ANOTHER WEEK WITH 1/2 OF THE 1/2...A 1/4. OF COUSE YOU SHOULD TELL THE DR. YOU WANT OFF. I CAN TELL YOU FROM EXPERIENCE AND STOPPING AN ANTI-DEPREEION MED RIGHT AWAY DUE TO A SIDE EFFECT. SUCH MISERY AND CRYING, CRYING.  GOOD LUCK AND PLEASE DON'T DO SOMETHING THAT WILL MAKE YOU VERY SAD

Depression is a personal health issue for me...

Gary,

 

Medications should not just be stopped. Talk with your doctor about this. He can prescribe a lower dose and help you taper off.
