Common Questions and Answers about How long do fluoxetine withdrawal symptoms last
prozac
90 days is a common turning point, but it doesn't stop there. Yes, methadone can take a long time to recover from. I was on twice as much as you and it took me 10 months to feel good. It is rough, but totally worth it. Hang in there. Are you taking vitamins and getting enough electrolytes and amino acids? That really helps. What are your other symptoms, maybe we can help with supplements to get you through.
Another way to avoid withdrawal is to take fluoxetine (Prozac) for a few weeks after stopping Lexapro (or any other SSRI), then simply stopping the fluoxetine. The very long half-life of fluoxetine causes it to leave the body over a period of months, tapering so slowly that the person doesn't have any withdrawal.
My recommendation at this point would be to go back on a low dose of Lexapro--maybe half of what you used to take.
I hate being impotent and feel like It made me numb emotionally. I just wish I knew how long this whole withdrawal process is supposed to last. I'm going to talk to my doctor and see what I should do of course but, I just wanted to hear if anyone else has gone through this and if there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I'm scared that I'll never be the same again! I have a full bottle of Paxil and wonder if I should just take it. Not the whole bottle, just the prescribed dose.
This is now my 6th week and feeling frustrated. Scared to stop Fluoxetine but do not recall feeling this bad while on Zoloft. Is there anybody with this similar problem?
Can anyone please give me information on how long the withdrawal symptoms last. I search all over and only see stories of this horrific drug withdrawal. Does anyone know how long I will endure this or does it vary?
