I came off of this drug, admittedly I hadn't been on it for years only months but the biggest withdrawal symptom for me was nausea. For me this was the last of a long line of anti-depressants that had been taken for 10 years, none of which really worked. Prozac helped in the beginning. I am now drug free and have been for over a year, my mind is so much clearer, and when I feel down I take herbal 5htp. I know that with the fibro depression comes and goes. My pain levels have increased but overall I feel much more clearer. Everyone is different and there withdrawal will be different this is only one persons experience so don't worry too much, if done slowly at your own pace anything can be achieved. X
