How long for side effects to go away after decreasing prozac (fluoxetine) from 80 to 60? was on 80 for a month and went back down due to side effects
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Within 10 days: If you are a typical metabolizer, prozac (fluoxetine) will reach a new steady state in about 10 days -two weeks. Most side effects are dose dependent and will decrease as the blood levels go down.

Taken 80mg Prozac (fluoxetine) for two months, safe to quit cold turkey? Not helping depression and too many side effects. Would rather be off meds quite frankly.
