Can prozac (fluoxetine) 20 mg cause confusion and memory problems been on it for 7 months?

Yes: That can happen. So, talk ASAP to your Dr about a taper-off program or how to deal with this set of issues. DO NOT just stop. The risk of w/drawal reactions is real and not good. People sensitive to side effects might be more sensitive to that too. So, work together on taper. Consider CBT to lower or replace need for medication. Anxiety is handled best w/ skills, not pills. Best to you!
