FleeingFluoxetine: trying to get off Prozac

[FleeingFluoxetine]

Okay, I've changed my signature to include the dates, figured out the site search, and watched a video on akathisia.

 

I think Altostrata is completely right. I don't have the uncontrollable pacing or restlessness that goes with the condition. I had it briefly each night during the interdose withdrawal when the hospital cut my Seroquel dose from 43 to 25 mg, but that's largely resolved itself. The buzzing/shaking/electricity I use exercise to burn off, but it's completely under my control. I can walk or stop if I want to.

 

This means that the doctor I fired misdiagnosed the electrical storm as akathisia and prescribed me propranolol and clonazepam that I never needed.

 

I swear to god, they don't know what they're doing.

Up to you to decide if you want to reduce your drugs. Please let us know when you want to taper.

I'm reducing my Seroquel from 43 mg (dissolved in water) to 42 mg tonight. That's a 2.3% reduction. Wish me luck, everyone.
