Hi, I'm Punkpansy
August 10, 2026··
I’m here because I want to get to know my inner child again and get closer to my higher power. I’m tapering off of Fluoxetine after taking it for 7 years and am hoping to find community to cheer me on when things are easier and more difficult as I go through this process. Thanks!
Prozac — 40mg — 7 years — actively tapering | Trazodone — 50mg — 8 years — holding | without clinician

Hi @Punkpansy....welcome!
Many people desire to taper because they want to find out who they truly are without chemical restraint. That's a worthy goal, so keep it in the forefront of your mind as you go through this process.
You'll have our unwavering support as you navigate your taper. We're all in this together and need one another since most people can't relate to what we're going through.
We look forward to supporting you on this journey!
