How Long Does Prozac Take To Show Effect?

Prozac need around 3-4 weeks to give full effect
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thank you for using HCM to post your health query.
I read it carefully and I understand your concern.
I'm sorry to hear that you are not feeling well. Prozac it is a good medicine and the dose you are using it is the right one. I agree with your doctors approach- using xanax when needed will be helpful the first 4 weeks. Prozac will need around 4 weeks to take full effect, so that is why you are not feeling well yet, and that it is why your doctor has scheduled an appointment with you in Oct 20th that if needed he may increase the dose.
Some advises I would give, that maybe you are already doing, are:
-- Use Prozac in the morning, because if you use in the evening it will keep you awake.
-- Consider doing physical activity...running or walking.
-- Cognitive behavioral therapy is effective in reducing symptoms.
I hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.
Regards,
Dr. Papaqako
