Ask Dr ASAP!: This is a side effect to definitely tell the Dr about. That's an important part of treatment. Don't put it off. Don't just stop. Talk about it.

See your doctor: You need to be seen by prescribing doctor asap. There are many side effects of Prozac (fluoxetine) from common to rare including those effecting the skin. However, your doctor knows you best and also must factor in your mental state as well. Anxiety, depression etc may color your reactions. So let your doc assess the "loose" skin and peeling right away. Prozac (fluoxetine) side effects should reverse with lower dose.
