Prozac questions

Post Reply New Topic

I havent had time to refill my prescription and havent taken my daily 20mg of Prozac since at least Sunday. I havent noticed any withdrawal yet, but I've felt very good today and cant tell if going without it for 3 days has caused a change that I like...I just know that I want to maintain the way that I feel today. Would taking it every other day from now on be a good idea?

It is not recommended to abruptly stop taking any psychoactive medicine, so taking it every other day would seem like a better choice. Elimination from the body would take between 3 to 6 days, so any effects you are experiencing could be a transient, maybe your mood is generally improving? Obviously speaking to a doctor about this would be the best option.

When I was on Prozac (20 years ago) I would forget to refill it and after a couple of days without it I wanted to kill everyone I met. Every other day is better than nothing!
