[QUOTE="Prem51, post: 1701393, member: 209498"] Hi [USER=402065]@buffyiscool[/USER]! I am on fluoxetine (prozac). It does take a few weeks to build up in your body. It generally takes me around 6-8 weeks before it takes effect and I feel better. If you aren't starting to feel better after 5-6 weeks you need to speak to your GP. You might need to change dose, or go onto another anti-depressant. Some ads work for some people, but not for others. Some people experience side effects, and others don't - if you do again you need to speak to your GP. I have found it is good for me, and I am staying on it permanently now. I used to come off ads once I started feeling better, but my depression would return, after ever shortening periods. And the period of bleak dark thoughts and sleeplessness and other symptoms were so awful, I couldn't face another 6-8 weeks before the fluoxetine kicked in. If you want to ask anything more about it, feel free. [/QUOTE]
