Don't despair. This snakes and ladders yo-yo is usually a good sign. The good days show that the med can be effective once it fully kicks-in. The positive response is produced by biology, not chemistry, and it isn't always a linear progression. Fluoxetine often takes longer to kick-in than the other SSRIs because of its long half-life.
