I think stopping the Prozac was a bad idea, you nees to wean of ADs slowly.

And yea, I thought stopping drinking would solve my mental problems too, I thought everything would be perfect once I quit and things were a LOT better and I was able to work on my problems without being drunk which is the only way to do it, but it was still hard.

I messed about with my ADs too, first I decreased the dose then I increased them, the increase was the worst, made me angry all the time.

I think it is wiser to wait until you are a year sober and then discuss with your Doc how to wean off them slowly.
