Hello,

Avoid unwanted stress and anxiety. Relaxation techniques like yoga and meditation can help a bit. Continue Prozac.

If symptoms persist better to consult a psychiatrist and get evaluated.

Additional antidepressants may be required.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
