How long for Prozac to fully relieve depression symptoms?

by Symptom Advice on December 24, 2010

I've been on Prozac for 3 weeks and I'm noticing a relaxed feeling along with normal feelings returning, but the feelings of depression, how long does that take to go away?

Annooka,

Its good that you are feeling results from the Prozac. 4-6 weeks is considered the period when the results are to be expected. Depression is something you have to work on though. Try to do things that make you happy. Working out at a gym or any other exercise program also helps. Avoid things like alcohol which are depressants and add to feelings of depression.

Im glad you are getting your old self back.

6-8 weeks. That's why patients gets discouraged and think meds dont work.
Hang in there

Its starting to work maybe another few weeks
