In reply to Quitting meds, no more trazodone, Lorazepam......., posted by janejj on June 18, 2002, at 12:31:52
i would leave the prozac alone if i were you. when it comes to antidepressants, if it's working for ya don't stop taking it. it will mess you up seriously. I have taken quite a bit of antidepressants, anti anxiety meds including lorazepam, and trazodone for a few years now.
the quitting of lorazepam is fine. i wouldnt reccomend cold turkey for trazodone since it is an antidepressant as well as sleep aid so your chemistry will get a little off if you go cold turkey.
the main thing is to NOT try to wean off prozac all the sudden. i have been on 3 antidepressants lowest mg over the years and took 2 months to wean off lexapro 10mg and i had serotonin syndrome as well as im not as happy as i ever was, my personality is slightly more dull and overall quitting antidepressants will forever change you. if you are happy and things are good stay on the prozac cause trust me the side effects are worse when you quit. i did the exact same thing as you, i was on 300mg wellbutrin and thought getting off would be better for me. i was wrong im back on wellbutrin and things are getting better but it still messed me up and changed me. stay on the prozac.
i would like to say good job getting off lorazepam and trazzy :)
but when it comes to antidepressants be careful please i speak from experience i cant reverse the brain damage i have due to quitting antidepressants and i will never be the same.don't do what i did.
