need help getting off Prozac

hello, can someone, please, help me, give some advice...anything...

I've been on 40mg of Prozac for 4 years (depression and bulimia) and decided to stop just to see if I can live without it and because I got tired of having my life blurred.
I've been off for 4 weeks, but I'm going crazy. I'll be fine for a few days, and then I just start freaking out: my mood swings are horrible, I can't control my anger, I cry and cry and hate myself. It's like I'm turning into this animal, a monster I can't control comes out of me. I'm also getting anxiety attacks (never had those before) I can't deal with anything that cames up during my day. Dropping a glass in the kitchen may make me go crazy.

Can anyone tell me if those are normal withdrawal symptoms, how long can they last? After 4 weeks should I just give up and get back on Prozac or should I keep waiting, what are the chances that I'll get better and when?

I need help, can't live like that. Thanks.
