Gradual taper...

is the method just about everybody who deals with these sorts of things recommends. Prozac does have a freaky long half life (I think it may be like 5 weeks or something), so a switch could be helpful. I've also heard that you can speed up the taper a bit if you use low-dose benzos when you hit a rough patch--the benzos will reduce anxiety and agitation, allowing to push through the taper...just don't take them everyday, obviously (shrinks sometimes use them to get people off neuroleptics).

Good luck
