I've been taking Prozac (50mg/day) for over five years, and I feel that after speaking with my therapist and the debilitating side effects, I need to get off. I spoke to my doctor about it a long while ago, and she agreed that I may go off whenever I feel needed.

I was curious if going down 10mg per two weeks to finally be completely free would be a safe method.

Any support is appreciated.

I've been completely off Prozac for a month. I was on 40 mgs for four years. My doctor had me take 30mg for 15 days, then 20mgs for 15 days, then 10mgs for 15 days, then go off of it. It's worked out fine for me. Did your doctor give you specific instructions on how to come off of it? If not, you should definitely speak to her about it first.
