Re: Question about Anti-Depressants

I agree with everyone who says to go through this program and get steady first. I stopped Prozac after 14 years of taking it. Even though I weaned off much more slowly than recommended, I still ended up with extreme mood instability afterwards - to the point where I was though to be Bipolar II at one point and was then given other drugs that actually created more problems than they solved!
Long story made short: I’ve been working with a naturopath to solve the underlying issues that caused the depression in the first place. Part of that was getting off sugar, which is why I’m here - because I need support and guidance to change my behaviour around sugar.
If I had been more steady when going off the Prozac, I may have fared better in the process.
