HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, pathological condition is matter of concern and it needs to be taken care first, if this is the infection due to H.Pylri then it has to be treated first.
Fluoxetine mainly given for functional condition, if you can control your functional symptoms then no need take fluoxetine, if you have stopped it for time being then you can restart it again and it may not cause any difference, or cause any harm.
The most important is to complete the course of infection, if you have left it in between then you can start it gain, you have to take the chance else developing resistance is likely, hope this information helps.
