Suggest Treatment For Side Effects Of Prozac

No you will not develop withdrawal effects
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Welcome to Health Care Magic
I can understand your concern. Prozac is Fluoxetine abs the drug is a SSRI drug. In most cases with optimal doses the drug helps in controlling the symptoms with in 4-6 weeks of starting therapy. If no response is seen after roughly 3 months re-evaluation of medicines is needed. You were taking the drug since last 5 years and if it didn't result in improvement then there is need to reconsider the prescription. Other more effective medicines should be tried or dose should be increased.
As after quitting the drug you didn't have any withdrawal symptoms in first week then I don't think the symptoms will develop in coming weeks. No need to worry at all.
Thanks, Hope this helps you, if you have more doubts you can ask again.
