Hi Cjm64, I responded to your other post. It sounds like you're having a very rough time of it. I'm so sorry! Hopefully a tiny reinstatement can help to stabilize things. Prozac has a very long half-life, so that's why you're getting hit with symptoms now.
If you check the Symptoms & Self-Care section of the Forums, you can find advice about how to deal with your symptoms.

Venlafaxine (tapering) - Current dose 17.92 mg
