Ask doc: With help from your physician. If you have had more than one major depressive episode, it would be better to stay on them longer because it recurs at the rate of 50% after 2 and >90% after 3 episodes. Prozac is so long acting that it tapers itself for the most part, but you may feel muscles jumping independently and other withdrawal symptoms while decreasing your dose by 10mg every 2-3 weeks.

It is best to taper: off the prozac (fluoxetine) under the supervision of your physician/ psychiatrist.
