Maybe start prozac at micro doses, goal is only to ease some or all of your ssri symptoms, and then slowly in tiny steps wean off of it. Prozac is especially good for this purpose. It's long half life make the weaning process easier, a smoother journey. I'm thinking small, like maybe 10mg every 3 days, once a week, 5mg every 2 days...not looking for therapuetic, just looking to hit rewind and get a second chance in getting off ssris.
If you do nothing, in my own experience your symptoms should be mostly gone in about another 6-8 weeks. So it's hard to know what to do. I know for sure, time alone will do some healing and lessening of symptoms, but we're talking months and years, not weeks.
On the health side, give the body everything it needs and extra, in terms of vitamins, minerals, oils. Give it all the support you can in terms of nutrition, water, rest, stress.
