Six months on prozac (fluoxetine) 20 mg. feels great and want to stop. should do it at once or slowly? or how?

Rank order: 1.Best, ask the provider who was your prescriber or another if you have a new one. 2. Next, at such a low dose you can be safe skipping a day then skipping 2 days, etc. till a week free and stop. 3. Just stop and see how you feel - you can restart and taper as above. Best wishes!
