I recently sent someone a list of things that helped with some of the lingering side effects after stopping prozac. I realized most of them were alternative medicine so I decided to post them here.
magnesium - helps with anxiety, now I no longer need it.
fish oil - can help with any remaining sadness.
Neuro Optimizer by Jarrow Formulas - Helps restore some feelings and improves cognitive effects, also helps with creativity. (may cause constipation)
low dose prozac - when I take 2.5 mg prozac it helps concentration and gives me more interest in things. If I go higher than this dose it blunts emotions. (not too many side effects but can still effect libido at this dose)
Magnesium and Fish Oil had no side effects. I hope this list will benefit someone.
Iatrogenic post-SSRI problems: anhedonia, memory and concentration problems, sexual dysfunction. (not a formal DX)
Country:USA
Currently taking Lamictal, mirtazapine, and abilify.
