Work closely with your doctor and if you feel he is tapering too fast, tell him this.  Let him know how you feel, this should alert him to the fact that the tapering may be too fast.

Prozac stays in your system for a long time. But if you feel withdrawal symptoms too troubling ask your doctor to reduce by smaller doses each week.
