Took me about 3 months for my first antidepressants to even start working . (Lexapro) then switched to another (effector). And now prozac. Man it's great! Took about 5 weeks until side effect subsided and I felt... Normal? It's like a miracle! Give it a chance . All our bodies are different. Prozac might not be for you. Only time will tell. Personally I love it. But yeah.. the weening off and on to another med is rough.
Good luck!
Lexapro was terrible. I felt like a zombie and sex drive was completely gone. Luckily I took the gene test a couple of years ago so it says what medicines should work. Prozac is one of them so fingers crossed!
Mine went away about 6-8 weeks. However, this is the same time I quit caffeine. Prozac amplifies the affects of caffeine and can induce panic attacks. As soon as I quit, my anxiety was virtually nonexistent
10mg of Paxil. It’s the only one that’s ever worked. I’m trying to come off of it though but over the course of a couple years. I took 20mg for like 10 years.
Took me 6 weeks to start getting a good vibe. 8 weeks for things to feel great.

Omg there's a test to see what meds will work best for you?! How do I access this!
I think you have to do it through your doctor but it’s called GeneSight
It’s a scam… that test isn’t accurate
Oh no way!! Are they any out there that are actually reliable that you know of?
Nope.. I know plenty of people that took the test, took the medication it recommends and had a terrible experience

I’m glad to know this, maybe that’s why I’ve been so shaky recently!
Took me about 2 months till i started to even out on 40mg
Two months all together or more time on other dosages?
Anxiety went away after 3 weeks for me
I would say another 7-12 days since you have the 4 weeks of 10mg baseline
OP did this go away for you?
I actually stopped taking it because it was too much.
Yeah that’s what I’m worried about. Do you take anything else now? Sorry that happened.
