In reply to withdrawal.. and medical school, posted by medstudent on April 1, 2006, at 3:58:37
I too am currently withdrawing from a SSRI - Prozac.
I agree fully with dancingstar, withdraw very slowly, allowing several weeks of adjustment on each slightly lower dose, if possible. I have found fish oil and b vitamins to help significantly. I am down to 5 mgs/day Prozac and after a couple of not great (but not terrible) days, I am now stabilizing. I will stay on this until probably late May and then drop again.
Let me just say that now congnition is much smoother, clearer and easier than on the SSRI. I feel a mental clarity that could only help someone studying to be a doctor. I do recommend trying the Omega 3's and a magnesium supplement to help you through the process.
