In reply to forced to stop Prozac cold turkey, posted by sunnydays on April 20, 2010, at 18:21:54
> So I was just in the hospital for several days for heart problems (an episode of fainting caused by severe blood loss -- had to have two blood transfusions, and an episode of ventricular tachycardia that they can't find a cause for). They think that the irregularities in my heartbeat that they saw were caused by the Prozac and they just stopped it completely... and say that I absolutely can't take any SSRIs or SNRIs because they all have a small chance of causing this. The problem is that ever since about a day and a half after stopping the Prozac, I can't seem to stop crying all the time.
