Been on prozac (fluoxetine) for 20 mg for 6 months i am 65 but always seem to have fuzzy thinking how long does that last?

Discuss w/ Dr: Fuzzy is a fuzzy term. It might not be related to the Prozac (fluoxetine) at all, but if it has been constant starting clearly when you began to take it, it could be a side effect. No reason to think it will change but it could. Hopefully you can taper off soon - such drugs are best for short term while you learn skills in therapy. Talk w/ you Dr - seek a good therapist - sharpen the description if you can.
