> I went on prozac for depression and anxiety about 4 years ago. One year ago I began getting really annoying muscle aches (possibly joint aches) in my neck, shoulders, back and wrists primarily. I though it was computer/work ergonomics, exercise and diet problems. I changed all of these things with NO CHANGE or relief. This lead me to think it was prozac side effects. After reading forums like this I found out that such side effects are relatively common. I tapered off of Prozac for two weeks and took my last dose about 13 days without much or really any change in muscle/joint problems. SO MY QUESTION IS when will I feel better if it is the meds? I read it might take 5-6 weeks or even 80 days for the fluoextine and norfluoxetine to be gone but does it ALL have to be out to feel any big difference? Is it possible that once it is out my brain still will need to adjust? THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING AND I WOULD LOVE SOME FEEDBACK

It's possible since the chemicals are still in your body. Do you know if you move much in your sleep? Hopefully others will chime in here. If you have been to a physician regarding your pain, what did he say?
What about your depression/anxiety symptoms, are they returning?/tensor
