A member asked:
Does stopping prozac (fluoxetine) suddenly (low to moderate dose) cause major long term consequences, such as brain damage and iq loss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prozac (fluoxetine): None of the above. Prozac (fluoxetine) has long half-life & can stay in your system for up to 72 hours, but be aware of some withdrawal symptoms after you stop, and let your doctor know.
