Should any one for any reason stop taking fluoxetine cold turkey?

Answer

If someone is on an antidepressant prescribed by a doctor, then they should follow the guidelines discussed with their physician.

Fluoxetine has a relatively long half-life of about 1 month, so withdrawal symptoms tend to be less jolting than, say, Paxil which has a half-life of 3 days.

Don't stop taking any medication without the consultation of a Medical Doctor.
