I was just wondering if anyone else was on Fluoxetine (prozac) I have been on it now since the 10th of last month. I am on 10 mg and I can't tell if it's helping or not.

    Just was curious how long it took to get the full effect. I can't tell if it's helping or not. Seems like I may need to be uppered. I kind of feel I don't how to describe it.

    I started off on 20 mg and it really did nothing for me but maybe take the edge off. Then I got it upped to 40 mg and it helped a bit. I had some good days but mostly bad while still on it. I noticed the difference within a week. Then i moved it up to 60 mg and it's been great. I have a rare bad day but for the most part it's all been good. I noticed the 60 mg take effect within a few days and felt great by about 2 weeks. No nasty side effects or anything.

    I'm on 10mg- its helping me... the anxiety is much better, not as much racing thoughts/racing heart...but the bad thoughts/depression still surfaces so I'm going to talk to my dr about it on friday.

    took me 2-3  weeks to make a difference.

    i took it in college, about 6 years ago, and it didnt do a thing for me. I have also been on Celexa, Paxil and Zoloft before as well. I did the best on Celexa, but i dont believe you can take it if bfing.

    I'm on 20 mg and it's made all the difference in the wold. It probably took about a week to start working.

       Are you taking it in the morning or at night?  My doctor said it's definitely more effective if you take it in the morning.
