Are there any problems that can arise from going on and off anti-depressants (like prozac) multiple times?

Prozac (fluoxetine): Prozac (fluoxetine) is used to treat major depressive disorder, OCD, and panic disorder. Discuss Diagnosis, have Therapy, discuss benefits, side effects and duration, then make decision to take medication. Going on and off Prozac (fluoxetine) multiple times will not have full benefit and can result in withdrawals Do not stop taking Prozac (fluoxetine) at your own. Do not stop without discussing with Psychiatrist.
