Brief Answer:
Interaction possible.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome here.
Plant sterols can interact with number of drugs.
Your anxiety has increased after starting proactive yogurt drink.
I would suggest you to stop taking the drink for next 2-3 days and observe your anxiety. Anxiety should reduce if its due to interactions between fluoxetine and plant sterols.

Hope this helps.
Thanks.
