About 2-3 weeks ago, I decided to get off Prozac, which I have been taking since mid December.

I took it every other day for 1 week, and then stopped to slowly get off.

For a while I felt fine, and I've had no issues until 2 days ago, I've been constantly dizzy and a lot of brain fog.
It feels like I am high, but in the worst way possible. Constantly fatigued but I struggle to fall asleep.

Is it normal for these withdrawal symptoms to occur about 1-2 weeks AFTER stopping completely?
I ask because, either its withdrawal symptoms from Prozac or I got some kind of infection from something I ate.... or I'm just dying normally. >_> someone help.

For anyone who ever stopped an anti-depressant, what was your timeline for withdrawal symptoms?

yes, that's normal because fluoxetine half-life is 4 to 6 days and norfluoxetine 4 to 16 days, wich means that after 2 weeks your body cleaned 50% of the molecules and weaning takes 5 to 6 weeks to reach something like 95% clean, good luck.
