Anyone had, or heard, of severe reaction to sudden Prozac withdrawal?

I'd really appreciate if anyone has known someone who may have had a severe reaction to abrupt cessation of Prozac, as opposed to a slow weaning. I'm looking for psychosis or extreme emotional breakdown. Know someone who has had a very bad episode.  Ceased taking medication due to an illness. After a few days, a very severe emotional breakdown occurred, which was totally out of character. Thanks in advance.

My understanding is that to cease any powerful drug such as Prozac can be dagerous.   You need to wean off under strict med advice.
