Getting off prozac 20mg after 6 weeks shouldn't be too hard. That doesn't mean it won't be completely smooth sailing. But likely much smoother than most withdrawals.
Prozac has a long halflife which is to your advantage. Half of your last dose still exists in your system a week later. It isn't completely gone until after a month. An even easier wean would be to mix the contents of a capsule in orange juice and drink a custom dose every other day or every third day. 15mg, 10mg, 7.5mg, 5mg, and such. Easy to measure in a glass of juice. Just stir it well each time since it won't dissolve. Stays good in the fridge for a week.
It's hard to predict what you might feel in withdrawals. I think you will feel some weirdness, but nothing profound.
