Speak to prescriber: The way to get of a medication is discussing it with your prescriber so they can monitor for any problems. Prozac is very long acting , different from many other medications when stopping prozac you just stop it. I is so long acting that it effectively self tapers. It therefore takes a good 5-6 weeks to get out of your body.T https://www.mdedge.com/psychiatry/article/62449/6-safety-rules-taperin
