> I have been on SSRI's for about 11 years.. I started on Paxil, switched to Zoloft, then to Prozac 20 mg. I just stopped taking Prozac last month and I am not having many withdrawls except for some minor brain zaps.. I was scared to taper off because I had a real hard time with tapering off Zoloft. But Prozac has a really long half- life so depending on the dose, you should be able to taper off without much problem.

>Do you mind my asking how long you were on Prozac and why you are stopping? Did it just stop working for you? Thats what has happened to me, after over 10 yrs its slowly just stopped working for me. Now my pdoc wants me to try Lexapro. Have you started on something else?
Thanks, Karen
