Hello.Clonazepam is an effective drug for your condition but its intake can not be stopped abruptly, is normal to have a headache if discontinued abruptly.
Fluoxetine is not the most appropriate medication to treat General Anxiety Disorder, your doctor should consider replacing Fluoxetine by Paroxetine or Escitalopram.
Please consult your doctor for a prescription.
I wish you good health.
