Prozac Withdrawal and Tapering Help
Prozac targets Serotonin, the neurotransmitter found primarily in the gastrointestinal tract, blood platelets and central nervous system, and is thought to contribute to feelings of happiness. Serotonin is critical in the regulation of mood, appetite and sleep patterns, but also used in memory and learning. The widespread function of Serotonin helps to explain the extensive list of side effects and the Prozac Discontinuation Syndrome (withdrawal).
Prozac has the longest half-life of any antidepressant, meaning it stays in the body for an extended period of time. Many patients do not realize they are in withdrawal as the symptoms may appear weeks after stopping the drug. A gradual taper is recommended yet many still find the symptoms too challenging and need assistance.
At Point of Return, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, we have spent the last 14 years helping people come off Prozac correctly. With customized taper rates and all natural nutraceuticals, our program allows you to control your symptoms and properly taper off Prozac, once and for all, from the comfort of your home.

Now Prozac is being marketed to our dogs under the trade name Reconcile to curb the anxiety from being left alone for long periods of time. The studies used to obtain approval for the drug stated that 30% of animals were found to have 'phobias' or 'fears', while 12% were found to have 'separation-related problems' when parted with their owner.
Eli Lilly, the U.S. manufacture, said: 'Treatment for companion animals is a relatively new area for us.' The UK recently approved Prozac for use in pets. Side effects of Reconcile include lethargy, reduced appetite, vomiting, shaking, diarrhea, restlessness, excessive barking, aggression and seizures.

When Serotonin is released from the sending nerve cell, the leftover Serotonin is normally reabsorbed, but Prozac blocks this reabsorption, causing the neurons to steep in Serotonin for longer periods of time then they were designed for. This increase in Serotonin is also what leads to the long list of side effects. Prozac also blocks the sensor that tells the cell when enough Serotonin has been produced, causing a release of even more Serotonin and this constant state of Serotonin release is why the Adrenal Glands fatigue as well as other systems of the body.
