It'll end you guys.... I know it's hard to see that now. I quit cold turkey, but I was only on it for a little over a month so I didn't have any problems. One friend of mine, on it over a year.. quit cold turkey, and had these side effects last 2 weeks... until she took the advice on this board..... benadryl didn't help her but it's helped some..... and she took prozac 10mg. for 2 days... about 2 days after the last prozac she was fine.
My other friend suffered about 3 weeks... he compared it to heroin withdrawal... and he's been there!!
Hang in there if you can...it's worth getting this out of your body! I know how bad it can be tho.. I have seen it, so it's easier said than done! But if you can get your hands on a couple of doses of prozac.. people swear by that for easing the pain. Don't forget... it'll get a little better everyday. Your not alone.
