How can fluoxetine work as an ssri withdrawal aid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fluoxetine: Fluoxetine is an ssri itself, but a very long-acting one. Compared to others, it has a long elimination half-life -- getting it completely out of your body requires at least 25 days after last dose. In a way, it tapers itself in this process. http://tinyurl.com/d48t524.
