prozac 5 weeks in

[matt1981]

I have just started taking fluoxetine 3 days ago and I am not too encouraged to see just how long they take to kick in!

Hi everyone

Just wanted to say that it does take a while for Prozac to work...when i took it before it took about 8 weeks to start working...
I remember thinking the same...'its got to start working soon!'...'its been 3 weeks, then 4 weeks,5 weeks'...'what if it don't work'...eventually it did and it was worth it.

I can see why it can be good for SA even though i dont suffer from it...but i felt i could do or face anything without any fear at all.

So thats my twopence worth..thought it might help as i know how hard it is waiting for something to work, and it would be good to hear how you are getting on.

All the best
Carmel

Hi Pete,

I've just come off prozac after being on it for a year, It can take a while to work so give it plenty of time. Just be careful that it doesn't mask your symptoms , as you've really get to the bottom of dealing with them, but they are great for getting you through the really bad times. xx
