going off prozac takes a lot of perseverence, support and gentleness. i was on prozac for 10 years and decided i had had enough, and it didn't seem effective anymore. when i decided to stop taking it, i slowly tapered down until i was only on 10mg a day. during this time, i sought out an acupuncturist who supported me and my body through this process. i also received massage and other forms of bodywork to help relax. practicing yoga and meditation has also been helpful. after finally getting off and living life without it, i have noticed my mind to be much clearer and more receptive. i still struggle with depression, but i prefer feeling to numbness. i did have some physical side effects. i mainly had a hard time breathing.
