Hello thanks for asking from HealthcareMagic,
Prozac is Fluoxetine and has elimination half life of about 2-4 days. After stopping the dose you will be drug free in about 5 days.
Drink plenty of water and citrus juices for early clearance of the drug. For anxiety you can use low dose Klonopin on SOS basis.
