Prozac (fluoxetine): Prozac (fluoxetine) is a very long-acting medication, and is not one of the antidepressants more likely to cause withdrawal symptoms.

If not, your original symptoms (fatigue is common in depression) could recur. Hoping you're talking with your own doctor about this. Good luck.
