I stopped the prozac I took it for 12 days and I feel extremely sleepy and nauseous. I am having that feeling again as when I stopped the cymbalta like 10 months ago, then I took lexapro and I was fine the after two months again same sleepy problems. Since then I swear I can't sleep normally and I am having a lot of problems its like my body is not the same. I feel tired and sleepy and I just called my doctor and I have to wait until the 22nd !!! I think my body can't tolerate anymore the SSRI. Maybe that is my problem my body is not accepting any SSRI anymore. I have decided I will not take any of this pills anymore. I can't even stand. I had panic attacks since I was 12 and until I took those pills I began having this kind of problems. I am just very disappointed. What if all the problems I have were caused by the pills ? this is the second day I wake up can't even stand straight right away and I feel dizzy. No more SRRI for me.
Does anyone had problems with pills like this ?How can I take it out of my system?
I am having a hard time. Thank you for reading

I get the nausea and fatigue, too. Feeling it right now, actually ... this is my first medication of the kind, though, and haven't had any experience with switching meds or getting off of them. My doctor said if this doesn't work, though, that we'll have to wean me off of it and either look for an alternative medication or find another way of fixing the problem. I have to have people remind me to eat and get me out of the house for fresh air. And fresh air really does help me. I've had problems with dizziness and fainting my whole life, so I guess I'm used to that. I hang on to walls a lot =p

Make sure you're eating well and getting some fresh air every day. That's basically what I tell myself every morning. Maybe it'll work for you until you can see your doctor.

I'm sorry you're feeling so awful. Hang in there until you can see your doctor, and I wish you the best of luck getting better. =)

I am also sorry that this has been a rough time for you. Do you see a general doctor for your Rx's?

If so, could you ask for a referral to a psychiatrist?

This doctor would have the best knowlege about how to proceed with your next medication attempt.

Have you also considered trying to treat your anxiety with therapy alone, and perhaps a benzo for any acute anxiety breakthrough or attacks?

I hope that you can get the answers that you need soon! Keep us posted.
