Hi, Barefeet!
Two thoughts... chances are the Prozac has "pooped out" which frequently happens with long term use of an antidepressant. But you're still on a fairly low dose which could be increased to a maximum of 80mg/day.
If your doctor feels that it has stopped working you might want to talk about alternatives like Lexapro, Zoloft, or Paxil.
Best regards and I hope you find the best way to feel better quickly.
