Answer
Hi Nora,
There is very little real dependence on this drug. Most people can stop takng the drug when the feel like. But if you have concerns about it, I thnk you should consult your doctor who would help you while stoping the drug. Takng fluoxetine without a doctors instruction may not be a good idea.
