DoctorDoctorI am sorry to hear that you're suffering from anxiety and depression. While it is very important to take medications regularly, some medications, including Prozac, can stay in the system for a while. The symptoms most likely will not come back immediately for 2 reasons: 1. The current dose is low, 2. Prozac has a long half life, meaning it might stay in the system for 2-3 weeks. In any case, you have to inform your doctor about it. Also, store medications in accessible, secure places.
Best of luck.
