Withdrawal reversed, thank god
Well, I mentioned on here a month or so ago about going off 60-80mg of prozac this last November and going into the worst depression I can imagine. I started with 20mg Prozac again 30 days ago and went up to 40mg a few days ago and all of the withdrawal is gone!!! I had horrible joint pain, severe nausea, developed Irritable Bowel Syndrome(awful), I was in a constant state of panic, crying 3 times a day, and felt like I was basically dying of cancer or something. But that has all disapeared, and I can actually go through a day without napping and lying in bed all day scared to do anything. I must have been sleeping 15 hours a day. I had an almost normal day today. Now I know better. I am going to stay on Prozac and see what happens but when I wanna get off, I'll do it very very slowly.

Very good, Johnny! Absolutely give yourself time to stay stable for a while, before even thinking about tapering again.

Re: Withdrawal reversed, thank god
Johnny, that is great. Now is the time to stabilize and to start planning a very, very slow taper when you are good and ready!
I'm so glad you are feeling better!
