A member asked:

I just cold turkey quit my symbyax (fluoxetine and olanzapine) after seven years. its been a week and i feel fine. how long does it take to get out of your system?

It may be out alrigh: Normally we do not advice meds like zyprexa and Prozac to be stopped suddenly, as symbyax (fluoxetine and olanzapine) is a combination of zyprexa and prozac having said that you have done it and it is a week without any serious side effects and you feel good, most of the meds are out of your system and you need not worry, but do check with your psychiatrist as the reason you were taking and you may or may not need anything.

See below: Zyprexa (olanzapine) is earlier than a week. However, Prozac and its breakdown products can stay in your system for upto a month. This slow removal of Prozac prepares the brain and body in many, so they are protected from withdrawal symptoms.
