Hello,

Just recently I acquired a prescription for PRozac. I broke a 10 mg tablet in half to take roughly 5 mg. Needless to say, I've decided to back off and not take prozac and go with another SSRI instead. This drug stays in your system for way too long for me to feel comfortable taking it. I know this sounds stupid to get a presciption for it in the first place but after the effects I've felt just from 5 mg of 1 dose, I don't personally feel comfortable continuing this medication.

Right now, it's 4 days since I last took 5 mg and I still feel a bit dazed and feel the urge to tap my leg up and down every now and then. It's not a tic but more of an impatient sort of thing that I may do while sitting at the computer. This may be due to the drop in dopamine that prozac causes in certain parts of the brain. How much longer till this stuff washes out? It's a very small dose and I've only taken it 1 time.

Will it be a month still?
