Zubsolv Withdrawal And Prozac

I had knee replacement surgery in March. I got up to high dosages of oxy (100 mg/day of the short acting 10mg pink pills). I wanted to get off the oxy without tapering for weeks so I went to a doctor who prescribed Zubsolv, because it would be "easy" to withdraw from. I was only on Zubsolv for 10 days, my highest dosage was 3-4 of the sublingual/day. He told me to taper for two days and quit. It has been seven days and there is no end sight of the withdrawal symptoms. In fact today is the worst day. I've been on Prozac for years and continue to take my regular dosage (30 mg). Could this be prolonging my withdrawal? Also, how long can this possibly last? I have two kids, one autistic and have been bedridden and haven't eaten in 4 days.

Hello, Richard! How are you doing? Have things gotten any better, yet?

That was a very rapid taper, which explains your withdrawal symptoms and they may last for a month, or so, before things start to improve and you feel back to normal.

And no, your Prozac won't worsen the withdrawal symptoms, however, you may be able to up your dose for a little while to help overcome them. So, you may want to ask your doctor about it.

The FDA classifies Prozac as an SSRI antidepressant and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, mood swings and dry mouth.
