Yeh, I took 10 mgs the night before my 3rd day off pristiq, then 10 mg in the morning, 5mg that night and then 10 in the morning. I feel fine pretty much back to baseline. I don't think I need to take anymore prozac.
I would recommend this to someone who is trying to get off pristiq since after 48 hours it will leave your system its probably easier then trying to ween that way and more convenient then using effexor. I was only on it for a short time but for people on it for months and months they should taper more slowly and spend more time at each lower dose.
So yeah, I'm off it now, and it wasn't bad at all to get off using prozac.

Weening off pristiq: 50mg every other day.
