I know you want to get off of the prozac because of all the problems it's causing, but doing it so quickly might cause more. If you have a stash of it, you should taper off of it over like 2 weeks (or longer). I don't know if you can still do this (is this your second day off of prozac?). Anyone who knows more about this should post. You could also check out the tele-psycho-babble part of dr.bob's site which talks about online/telephone psychiatry, and MAYBE you could find someone better? You could also MAYBE find a site where you can get a mood stabilizer without a prescription, but I'm not saying you should do that. YOu have to be careful, and if you do that you have to do a lot of research. I think that Neurontin is a fairly safe mood stabilizer (meaning that it doesn't require blood tests). I'm not a psychiatrist or anything, I'm a complete lay person, so don't take just my word tho.
