Psychiatrist 's  Response
In my opinion, prozac need to be taken for a longer period. I do not know how long did you take prozac

Additionally, some kind of family therapy / problem solving strategy, which will address the family issues and business issues, need to be added for complete recovery. Or else, alone prozac wo not be sufficient. For this you need to be in touch with a psychotherapist / psychiatrist

The symptoms that you are mentioning are quite understandable in the context of stress
