Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
Fluoxetine gets eliminated from the body after 4-6 days of long term use. So, with in next 3-4 days, it should get completely eliminated from your body.
However, i would recommend you to discuss with your doctor before stopping the drug.
