Unsure Whether To Stay On Prozac

[aka]

I have been struggling about whether or not to go completely off Prozac. I have really doubted that it has been helping me for most of this year. So two months ago I decided to do an experiment and cut my dose in halve. I have had no increase or decrease in my depression symptoms and my therapist has voiced concern over that result. My mother is totally against me going completely off the Prozac and I have been avoiding calling my Psychiatrist cause I find her frustrating to deal with.

So any suggestions would be helpfully. I will add that I will run out of Prozac next week and would have to call my Psychiatrist to get a refill. Thanks

I cannot speak to whether you should get off Prozac, but I would warn you not to just stop taking them. You have to wean yourself off very slowly.

I think you should talk to your psychiatrist and discuss with him or her changing your medication.

Please take care. I hope things get easier.
