... days ago and feel like myself again. I don't feel depressed or anything I feel much happier will I get any side affects if I just quit taking it?
I've been on Prozac 10 mg a day for 2 months but I don't think it's helped I stopped taking it 2?

I was going through a break up and came to terms with it so I don't think I have depression so I think the prozac just made things worse for me and I have felt better not taking it.

Prozac has what is called a long half-life which means it stays in your system awhile. Anyway, if you no longer need the med then by all means discuss with your doctor and discontinue. You may have a few down days as your body adjusts at about the 2 week mark of being off it, but if you truly are ready to be off the med, you will quickly adjust.
