Suggest Ways To Deal With Withdrawal Symptoms While Weaning Off Prozac

I have been taking Prozac for 2 1/2 years at 20 mg daily. I have been trying to weening off taking a dosage every other day for several weeks. The last few days I have experienced my body heating up, feeling clamey and something like dejavue? The body sensations was really weird. I have fainted 3x. Today is the 4th day without any symptoms. I have been taking Bonine but have not taken any today. Because their appears to be limitless withdrawal symptoms associated to weening off anti-depressants, could my symptoms be related. I am in great health, exercise regularly and nutrition is good. Thank you.
