A member asked:
Having severe brain zaps and vertigos after finally discontinuing prozac (after 10 yrs).what supplements or other thing can help cease these symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tapering the dosage.: If you've been on prozac for 10 years and from such an early age, withdrawal symptoms are almost inevitable. They can be minimized by a long, slow tapering of the dose and dosing schedule. It sounds like you've already stopped the medication, so I encourage you to contact the prescribing physician for advice. Best wishes. Dr. Anne
