I have to get off prozac 20mg, I've taken for 15 years, due to having 3 stents put in 2 weeks ago and now am taking plavix 75 mg which is a blood thinner and interacts with prozac making the plavix less effective. I need to taper off the prozac and not sure how. these docs do not know about everything, all the doctors knew I was taking these meds the cardiologist said to take the plavix for 2 years even if I took nothing else. I feel like I have to be my own doctor, I found this out by studing the meds and talking to the pharmacist. If I keep taking the prozac my chances of having a heart attack or stroke increases. Most types of antidepressents affect plavix. What to do?
