Hi, I'm GetMeOuttaHere

Welcome and thanks for sharing your experience!

Welcome @GetMeOuttaHere, I love your username! We have many members tapering @Prozac here, so you're in good company. Many people are starting their tapering journey after decades of being on these drugs. Slow and stead wins the race! Catina 🩷

I am also tapering from Prozac- starting dose was 60mg and I’m currently holding at 45mg. It’s been a wild ride until I discovered this app, hyperbolic tapering, the support of this community and a consult with a tapering specialist available on this app. Read the articles, and if you ca, book a clinician to help you find the right hyperbolic taper for you. I wish you well on your journey.

Hi @GetMeOuttaHere, Looking back, I can only imagine that stoppig while raising toddlers must be a whole other ball game. My kids are about to leave the nest soon, too. Even though the thought of them leaving is terrifying (definitely amplified through withdrawal, plus I just love them to pieces), there is a silver lining: I don't have to hide my breakdowns from them as much. I usually don't keep secrets from my kids, but the raw reality of tapering is just a bit too heavy to put on them. However, I have made it very clear that antidepressants are not to be taken lightly, and if they ever feel they need help, they should come to me first before taking that route. 🙈 My daughter went through a really rough patch in her early teens, and looking back, I thank God I didn't take her to a psychiatrist and just stuck with talk therapy. All of this is to say: I wish you the very very very best on your way "out of this".
