Withdraw gradually: Withdrawal is variable among individuals but withdrawal symptoms typically occur within 3 days of stopping Prozac and last about 2 weeks. Symptoms are often mild and may include headache, muscle pain, weakness, and tiredness. You may experience return or heightening of symptoms of condition for which prescriber provided Prozac. You are wise to work with your provider. Best regards!
