Are you in the midst of a slow taper off antidepressants or do you have post-discontinuation prolonged withdrawal syndrome? A respected researcher would like to interview you for a study.

 

He would advise on your taper or withdrawal syndrome.

 

If you live in north Wales, northwest England, or the British Midland area and would like to participate in the study, please send e-mail to me at survivingads at comcast . net

Hi Altostrata, unfortunately I am in Scotland, would that still be of use. I am still in a prolonged state of withdrawal and am still struggling, it would be good to receive some info on my situation and whether I am to see recovery at all.

Nov 2007 - Feb 2010 prozac 20mg

Feb 2010 - April 2010 prozac 40mg

 

Cold Turkey Prozac April 2010 due to severe cramps/bleeding

 

Severe withdrawal symptoms thereafter and protracted withdrawal continuing.

I'll inquire, Chrissy. You might have to travel to North Wales.

Original drug was sertraline/Zoloft, switched to Prozac in 2007.
Tapering from 5mls liquid prozac since Feb 2008, got down to 0.85ml 23/09/2012, reinstated back to 1ml(4mg) 07/11/2012, didn't appear to work, upped to 1.05ml 17/11/2012, back down to 1ml 12/12/2012 didn't work, up to 1.30ml 16/3/2013 didn't work, bumped up to 2ml (8mg) 4/4/2013 didn't work, in July 2013 I reinstated Sertraline (Zoloft) 50mg, feeling better now. 

A few months down the line I switched to 5ml liquid Prozac and tapered down to a compromise dose of 3ml liquid Prozac and have stayed there ever since, no withdrawals and no emotional blunting/loss of libido.
