In reply to Switching from Prozac (?) Please inform/advise, posted by lynn on January 4, 2000, at 12:46:24
I was also taking prozac and got very suicidal, very numb, just blah and hopeless. I am no longer taking prozac but I am taking Wellbutrin, only 150 mgs a day at this point. It has had no negative effect on my sexual moods, unlike prozac (asexual is right) and may even had a positive effect. I don't feel so numb, actually I can cry now, I can laugh again, which is what I had missed the most while taking prozac.
My best wishes to you, and I know how scary it is to quit, I was so worried that I would actually do myself in if I stopped taking the prozac because of how awful I was feeling on it! But within one day I felt really really much better. I don't know why the prozac makes some people feel worse and even more afraid of going without it. Keep us updated, and take care, you're in a very trying period with lots of life-changes and my blessings go out to you.
