kindly consult so that prozac can be tapered off according to the schedule
You need proper consultation for safer tapering off , kindly don't taper off without any psychiatrist's advice as there are many drawbacks including relapse and improper treatment of your illness.

I am sorry to hear that you're feeling this way. It's not uncommon.
you can continue taking Prozac but with regular follow up with a psychiatrist.
If you're comfortable, we can talk more about what might be contributing to these feelings.

You need to discuss with your healthcare provider about the reduction of such antidepressant and other alternatives for your underlying condition
