Hi everyone.
I was taking prozać for only 5 weeks 20-40 my daily. I stopped it because I was having muscle twitching and it was driving me crazy. I googled "twitching causes" and nearly frightened myself to déatĥ (not great as I was initially put on the stuff for health anxiety). 😐

It's now been 16 weeks since I CTd fluoxitine and I still have twitching all over and nowmuscle cramps.
In this your experience this sound common for being on the med for such a short time?

Prozac February 2026- April 2026.

Generally if you google any symptom you will find some scary cause! The cause in your case in WD injury.

I have seen others very seriously harmed from one pill. The symptoms vary and are wide ranging. Each of use experience our own set of symptoms and each recover in our own timeline. The common theme is we all recover eventually :)

I’m not a medical professional and cannot offer medical advice. I only offer my thoughts as support. Please speak to your health practitioner about your care. This is a peer site where we support each other on our taper/recovery journeys.
