Heh, yeah, it's pretty rough. I sorta compare it to having a nasty case of the flu...y'know, when you're horribly sick for a week or two, and then you spend about the next month recuperating, needing more sleep and better food, etc, getting dizzy at odd times and a little twitchy at others. Hang in there, take it slow, trust me you'd rather be conservative in speed than overdo it.
(I don't get why your doc would put you on that in the first place, there's a lot of other things that're more similar to Prozac that she coulda tried before going with something with nasty withdrawals. But I guess I'm not your doc huh? ;) )Good luck,
sl
