25th Prozac Update - Feeling Fair
May 19, 2026··
taper update
Feeling fair. Been having bouts of hyperactivity even after a single coffee.
So a few hours ago I spoke to my clinician and we have some important conclusions. Most importantly, depakote may be strongly downregulating my mood which is why I stay at 5/10 and rarely if ever get to 6/10 or 7/10 mood. He agreed I need to get off it because of that and for the liver's health, turns out my fatty liver is not urgent but tapering is something I need to do next month.
So it's a 40% cut of depakote next month. He proposed 600 mg daily and I agreed. I think 600 mg initially may be better than going even further to 500 mg because we will see if I will have any response to this smaller cut. So I have the prescription. I don't think there is a good and really safe way to go from 1000 mg to 900 mg.
Buspar is nonexistent in any pharmacies in our country...
Going to do a C.Tomography scan tomorrow, for my vocal cords, it's a big thing and I need to get ready.
