It's prozac withdrawals. When I tried stopping it, withdrawals came on in about the 7 to 9 day range after stopping the med. For me, it was spaciness, dizziness, unconnectedness, blueness, difficulty concentrating, zero motivation, and considerable anxiety like butterflies in the stomach. Very weird feelings. No zaps though. Shortly after the withdrawals hit, the depression came back rapidly in full force. I am gladly back on prozac again.
If you were to take some prozac again, just to ease the withdrawals, just 5mg or 10mg mixed up in orange juice would likely bring relief in about 4 hours. It did for me anyway. Then you can go without it until withdrawals hit again, and then sip a little more of the prozac orange juice, except sip a little less than before. This way you can ease out of it much better.
