In reply to Difficult prozac washout before EMSAM, posted by Roslynn on May 10, 2008, at 15:23:18
After stopping prozac after 10 years on it, there was a 3 month period of hard times and bumps before my body and brain finally settled into what was my new baseline. Five weeks is enough time to wash out the prozac, but after longterm use it is not anywhere near long enough for all the biological systems in the body to reorganize and adjust.
I basically toughed it. I used xanax sometimes, maybe once or twice a week if things were just too hard. I put a lot of focus in super healthy eating and lots of pure water, and I forced myself into distractions such as room cleaning, laundry, lawn care, or whatever to keep my mind occupied and my body busy.
The biggest help of all was starting to go to an upbeat younger age church where many people quickly took me under their wings.
