I'm sitting here waiting for my 2nd "interview" (ever actually, as well as at this store) and trying not to be so nervous. I stopped my Fluoxetine yesterday because it was just making my anxiety 10x worse...even after waiting 2 months to see if it might subside. I'm wondering if I should have taken my dose yesterday & today or not. Would it have made a difference? I'm feeling pretty shaky, and my throat is really dry. I don't know if it's because of my normal anxiety or taking/not taking the Prozac. Ugh...just mostly going on and on because I can't find anything else to distract myself. I'm more nervous than I was the first time I was here. Job interviews...

Sorry you are feeling anxious about the job interview. First stop should always be a call or email to your prescribing psych doc to tell them what you did and why, and what you should do from here to get back to stable.

Many meds when you stop cold turkey have side affects. Here are some articles that might shed light on it.
