My hair started to fall out about one month after one 10mg generic prozac per day..8months now. I tremble, vision changeslightly, voice is strained, dry mouth, breathing difficult, and misc other 'not normal' for me side effects. There is no longer a doctor until maybe Feb 2015. My purpose for taking it never aided in helping me with anxiety/depression during my time of need.
How to wean off 10mg prozac?

I've taken Prozac off n on for several decades. Taking only 5 or 10 mgs you will be fine. Of couse it's best to consult your doctor. I'm surprised you had these complains/complications on such a low amount. We just have to remember We are all different. I have experience the hair loss and slight eye vision changes,but never related the hair loss to this medication. Thank you for sharing this info. Keep Us updated? Happy Holidays n GB

Wringing off this medicine you do it gradually. Since it's a low dose, you take it from one a day to one every other day for a few weeks n then every 3ed day n so forth until U know it's not needed anymore. Always best to consult a doctor,preferably your own doctor. Sorry it didn't work for you... Don't give up,there is light at the end of the tunnel. :)

You really need the Dr to supervise this, stopping this stuff on your own can bring on unpleasantness and upset.
