No : Not likely to happen with Prozac (fluoxetine) alone without appropriate psychotherapy. If it is occurring sparked by another psychiatric illness such as social anxiety disorder, then it may stand a better chance of being alleviated byprozac. If it is a simple phobia and not part of another psychiatric disorder then the likelihood of it's going away on its own without treatment is only 20%. Treatment, predominantly psychotherapeutic treatment is most likely to benefit.
