Agree with above AND: Unless you will take a different product, be prepared for a possible mood slump in a few weeks. Taking a psychoactive med like Prozac for 2 yrs, then stopping as you described will take the brain a while to restore its own chemical balance. Sometimes this causes mood swings. Discuss this as well with your doc regarding how to address this, should,it happen. Good luck
