Many years ago, I was on prozac. After retiring from teaching, I decided to ween myself from the med. I went to every other day, then once every 3 days. From there, I stopped. There was a withdrawal of muscle pain. But I managed to get through it and never returned to such meds. I prefer vitamins, low stress. When one is retired, it's so much easier to eliminate the stress factors that brings on the med for depression meds. etc. I still have a low grade chronic depression but just live with it.
