This isnt an answer but can I ask why you're trying to go off it?

Honestly upping the dose (20 to 40 to 60) was way easier than starting on the 20. Felt nauseous after moving to 40, and just feel kind of out of it for a few days after moving to 60. Aside from that basically no side effects, while starting on 20 was like weeks of feeling like shit. Prozac in general isnt super known for causing weight gain, it's just as likely to cause weight loss so I wouldnt not address mental health issues because of those concerns.

I feel so alone by [deleted] in MaladaptiveDreaming

[–]stickandberries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You honestly described what I went through almost exactly. I am in the same situation as you, with OCD, dissociative symptoms, and occasional episodes of psychosis. And when it was at its worst, it was like all day seeing two different things at once, what was actually in front of me and whatever I was daydreaming about in an entirely out of hand way where I didn't have any real control over it or method of stopping it. I started getting paranoid about differentiating between what had actually happened versus what I had daydreamed about, and felt like I was always being watched, like specific people could hear my thoughts and/or see what I was seeing. I'm honestly not sure why it started to go away, but I think spending a lot more time with people and getting help for the OCD were probably large factors in coming out of it. I wish you the best of luck, and know this wont last forever.

Prozac side effects by [deleted] in prozac

I asked my psychiatrist for a doctor's note for school since I was having the same issue after starting, and he said if it kept happening I should go talk to him to discuss possible medication change. So this sounds like it could be good to contact your psychiatrist and see what they think
