Fluoxetine plus contains fluoxetine and olanzapine. Abrupt stoppage may cause mild withdrawal symptoms such as sleeplessness, irritability, dizziness, headache. Fluoxetine is a long acting medicine so it mostly wont cause any withdrawal effects even if you stop suddenly but olanzapine should not be stopped suddenly.
Drink lots of fluids and get proper sleep. Symptoms should subside within a week or two.
Next Steps
If symptoms dont subside or get worse please visit a psychiatrist

Suddenly stopping mg SSRIs like fluoxetine can have withdrawal symptoms which usually disappear in few weeks time. If manageable consult a doctor and check if everything is fine, if unmanageable consult a psychiatrist and decide what needs to be done forward. Good luck.

Please don't stop medicines without consulting your psychiatrist. Talk to them if you have any concerns about the medicines and take their advice to slowly decrease the dose and stop the treatment.
