It’s a bit rough to for 2-3 days when going off a lot if them, you could feel a little crazy or weepy. Your doctor has a duty to warn you if go off of it otherwise you will wonder WTH you’re going off through. Prozac has no bad withdrawal symptoms. I’m a psychiatric social worker along with working in substance abuse so I have a lot of exposure (literally and figuratively) to antidepressants and substance use addictions. You do not have long term withdrawal symptoms from any antidepressants that I’m aware of, unlike heroin. I have never heard of someone that has been addicted to an antidepressant, unlike heroin. You are very lucky if you can “quit” heroin - not a lot of people can stay away from it - which does NOT happen with an antidepressant.
