5th Prozac Update - Feeling Fair

August 19, 2026··
taper update
Feeling good. Been having bouts of irritability, fatigue, flu-like symptoms, and anxiety. I'm lumping in my temperature/ vasomotor disregulation under flu-like symptoms since there isn't an option for that. Cold hands/ warm forehead and neck. Those seem to be becoming less constant and slightly less intense. Irritability and anxiety still coming in waves, though my upcoming new doctor appointment is probably contributing to the anxiety. So many symptoms and progressions to describe and so little time. My wife is going to come with me to the appointment to keep me on track. My brain is much clearer with the gabapentin taper finished and the duloxetine gone, but there is a ways to go.

Good progress, Flyguy! Glad the gabapentin and duloxetine are clearing things up. Bringing your wife along is a great move, two sets of ears make these appointments much easier. Slow and steady :)
