Despite overwhelming evidence and even FDA black-box warnings, Prozac withdrawal symptoms tend to get blamed on the patient rather than the drug itself.
Prozac can have extraordinary side effects and debilitating withdrawal characteristics for certain persons. Disturbingly, these patients tend to get disregarded and minimized for their very real suffering.

Do Your Symptoms Require Prozac?

SSRI drugs such as Prozac are used in treating MDD (major depressive disorder). There are about half a dozen SSRIs that the FDA has approved for treating depression, each having similar characteristics and efficacy. Prozac is the one that remains approved for prescribing to young people, and that is possibly why the number of Prozac prescriptions tends to outweigh the other drugs in this class.

Prozac alternative treatments are available but sadly ignored in the main by doctors and others who may not have been trained in such methods, using non-drug-based protocols. Alternative to Meds Center specializes in alternative treatments for Prozac withdrawal, and for recovering natural mental health without prescription drugs.

Alternative to Meds has expertise acquired over 15 years of helping clients through tapering and withdrawal of antidepressants. We have published evidence clearly demonstrating that more than three-quarters of our clients tapering off fluoxetine or other drugs do better by tapering off them and replacing prescription drugs with a holistic lifestyle and other non-toxic choices to authentically and truly improve their health.

Risks of Prozac

In addition to questions about its value as an antidepressant, Prozac also presents some significant risks. First, common negative side effects include nausea, increased anxiety, trouble sleeping, and fatigue. While less rare, some patients also report significant changes to their mood, uncontrollable muscle spasms, tremors, and a decreased libido. One of the most serious possible side effects is increased thoughts of suicide.There is also a heightened chance of developing serotonin syndrome while taking Prozac. Because the drug interferes with the natural serotonin uptake process, it’s possible for you to end up with too much serotonin. Increased serotonin levels subject you to all sorts of negative symptoms on top of Prozac’s side effects and the initial condition that prompted your doctor to prescribe Prozac in the first place.
To stop using Prozac, it’s necessary for patients to slowly taper their dosage because stopping suddenly can lead to withdrawal syndrome. Additionally, it’s possible for your body to adapt so thoroughly to Prozac that it becomes physically dependent on it just to function normally, making it even more difficult to transition away from use.

Prozac, Zoloft, and Luvox
Often, the names of Prozac, Zoloft, Luvox, and other drugs are easily confused, as they are all classified as antidepressants and SSRIs. The three are used so interchangeably it might make a person wonder, what is Luvox (fluvoxamine)? Is Luvox the same as Prozac? Is there a difference between Prozac and Zoloft? Each of these drugs has a different active ingredient. Prozac depends on the active ingredient fluoxetine. Meanwhile, Zoloft has the active ingredient sertraline, and Luvox has the active ingredient fluvoxamine. All these ingredients have the same basic purpose, but they affect your body in diverse ways. For example, Prozac has different withdrawal symptoms than Zoloft, Luvox side effects differ from Prozac’s, and Zoloft uses differ a bit as compared to Luvox uses. Although both Prozac and Zoloft are Luvox alternatives, the smallest of differences could lead to a significant and different impacst on your health.
