Gad/ocd, panic disorder.prozac for 2.5 yrs.stopped cold turkey 3mths ago.no withdrawal symptoms but ever since i have insatiable appetite+weight gain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Multiple reason: Its always advisable to tamper medication with doctors' help. Please seek psychotherapy/ psychological help from professional if possible if you don't want to take any medication. It could be GAD relapse with some new symptoms. I would prefer to go for proper assessment and then work with professional for long term better results. Best wishes
