Hi, I'm swizzy

April 13, 2026··
I’m tapering off of Prozac because it stopped working and I’m sick of the side effects. Not sure if I will drop Wellbutrin in the future, tbd.

Hey Swizzy, welcome and thanks for joining us. How long have you been on prozac? And are you doing it alone?

Hi Swizzy, welcome! So you're on both Prozac and Wellbutrin? How do you know it's the Prozac that's causing your side effects? What symptoms are you dealing with? When you get a chance, create a Signature for yourself with an overview of your drug and taper history so we can best assist you. You can do this in Settings. We're happy to help you with whatever you need, just ask! Catina 💜

Hi swizzy, welcome to our community. It makes sense to want to taper off Prozac. When it stops working, the side effects can make things feel worse. Go one step at a time and see how your body handles the Prozac taper first… then decide on the Wellbutrin. Let us know how we can support you.
