If I stopped taking prozac today, how many weeks until it is completely out of my system?!


Question: If I stopped taking prozac today, how many weeks until it is completely out of my system.?
Answers:
The half-life of Prozac is 1-3 days, so 90% of it is gone in 3-9 days. One of the principal metabolites has a half-life of 7-15 days. This means that the clinical effects of Prozac more or less wear off in a week or less, but any side effects caused by metabolites might linger for another month.Health Question & Answer

That would be a bad idea! You have to come off prozac very slowly. Please see your doctor before trying this. It's very easy to think you are better when you are on the medication and to imagine that you don't need it.

If it does not suit you then you should ask your doctor to prescribe you an alternative.

Good luck and please don't take such a drastic step until you have spoken to your doctor.

If you were merely asking out of curiosity then I apologise! And I don't know.Health Question & Answer
