Apprx. 20 days: Prozac (fluoxetine) is a long acting medicine , between the original compound and the active metabolite the half life is around 96 hrs , so it takes approximately five times that for the level to drop to negligible.

Long Half-life: Usually around 21-35 days if you take into consideration prozac's metabolite (norfluoxetine).
