Anyone tapered off Effexor and used Prozac as a bridge?

this is my third day without Effexor. Will not be able to get until tomorrow morning. My friend gave me Prozac to help with withdrawal symptoms. Is it ok to take just today? I take 150 mg. Effexor. I have six 10 mg. Prozac pills available.

I am certainly no medical professional. but I do know that some doctors prescribe a "Prozac bridge" to help with withdrawal. Why don't you call the pharmacist.

I ndon't know but I stopped Prozac after a few years and it was horrible, so don't get on that.

Hi @beachlion12, how is your taper off Effexor going? Did you speak to your doctor about using Prozac as a bridge?
