A member asked:
Took 10mg of prozac (fluoxetine) for 9 days then stopped will i have withdrawal issues?

Probably not: It's unlikely you would have withdrawal issues from 9 days of Prozac -- but the question is why would you stop it? Your info indicates you're experiencing anxiety, and Prozac can be helpful for many kinds of anxiety. Hoping you and your doctor are working together on this change? Xanax (alprazolam) (your other medication) is not a good long-term plan for dealing with anxiety.

Prozac (fluoxetine): You should not stop Prozac (fluoxetine) abruptly but should discontinue according to a protocal your doctor is aware of, consult him or her as soon as possible so you don't have any unwanted side effects. Best wishes.
