benihanna: Please help with switch to Prozac after Pristiq
benihanna posted a topic in Introductions and updates
Hello Im 2 weeks off of Pristiq. My idiot NP decided to switch me from 50 of pristiq to 20 of prozac. Now getting off prozac. Symptoms started about 4 or 5 days in. Intolerable restlessness, irritability, hopelessness, and tremors in face, hands, arms, neck, trunk. Big problem is they r still getting worse at this point. When I was on the 50 I felt at least ok, but I wanted to get off because I thought it was causing the tremors, which have now gotten much worse in withdrawl. Effexor use and withdrawl also cause tremors. Should I get back on the pristiq and let myself stablize hoping the trem -

Hi all. Found this site by accident but glad I did. I’m struggling a lot after recently stopping AD’s and so trying to educate myself, encourage a semblance of kindness towards myself 🙄and get a bit of support and a more objective perspective on this bloody difficult journey. Been on Prozac for 25 years and then replaced with Duloxetine/Cymbalta in 2014 (after failed attempts to come off Prozac). During the majority of this time I have had no psych service input other than putting me on and leaving me on AD’s. At present - Was on 60mg Duloxetine which I tapered over the last 2 mo

NightWarrior: Prozac bridge from Venlafaxine
NightWarrior posted a topic in Introductions and updates
Hello all, first thank you for this really helpful forum. I started taking Venlafaxine 150 back in 2016. Later in 2018 i started tapering it off with 5-10% rule. In 2020 I arrived finally at 50mg. At this point however I got strong withdrawal symptoms even with 5%. I learned then about the Prozac bridge method and i thought I give it a try. So i am now off the Venlafaxine for about 2 months and now i only take Fluoxetine 13mg. However I still have some withdrawal problems from the venlafaxine 2 months later. It is not that bad, but mostly my brain is hurting headache and strange -
PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE TOPIC BEFORE GOING OFF PRISTIQ. Pristiq comes in insufficient dosages to taper. Do not alternate doses of Pristiq to taper -- this will cause the levels of this medication in your brain to go up and down and is second only to cold-turkey in causing withdrawal symptoms. AND DON'T COLD-TURKEY EITHER!!!!!!!!! To reduce the risk of withdrawal symptoms and post-discontinuation prolonged withdrawal syndrome, as with other psychiatric drugs we recommend reducing Pristiq by 10% per month, calculated on the last dosage. (The amount of the reduction gets p

I am withdrawing from Effexor it was a brutal withdrawal. My dr put me on Prozac 5 mgs for a few weeks and I stopped the effexor I was down to 25 a day. I’m hoping I can stop the Prozac too but feel awful. Can’t sleep kind of queezy physically not myself. Better tho than the withdrawal from Effexor where I had cold, sore throat, dizziness nausea. I was on the Effexor for over 5 years so I guess tapering off is hard.
