I put the trigger warning just in case.

So, from June of 2019 to November of 2020 I was taking Prozac for my anxiety. Initially, I noticed changes on when taking a low dose and things were getting better but I ended up moving up sequentially due to different factors. During that spring I had a pretty bad breakup, I then increased my dose even higher (at this point it is double my first ever dose). Throughout the Summer and the Fall of 2020 I was on this dose of prozac (this was agreed upon with my psychiatrist). But things just felt bad, my grades were slipping, I didn't care about things I should care about such as school. I just felt kind of empty and barren, like I didn't care. I also was still in the process of getting over some stuff concerning my breakup. Going into my Thanksgiving Break I decided to change things, I stopped taking prozac altogether on November 22nd, 2020 and I haven't taken it since then. I probably should of weaned myself off of my medication but I didn't. Anyway it hit me hard in February, I was in a lot of mental anguish and had many panic attacks but I eventually got through it. 

To sum up, it has been 4 months and two weeks since I stopped taking an anti-anxiety/anti-depressants. I feel better, I care about my work and seem to have a healthy amount of anxiety that pushes me forward. Still, part of me wonders if I did the right thing.

That being said, I am not looking for a quick fix, diagnoses or any thing like that. I am not advocating using medication vs not using medication, that is not my place. I am also not asking for someone to tell me what to do. I simply want to hear anyone else who has a story of once being on SSRIs such as Prozac but then decided to get off of the medication all together.
