I have been taking prozac for about a month and a half, first I was taking 20 mg then after that didn't work 100% for me I was upped to 40 mg. It hasn't been working to the extent of me getting out on my own. I really just don't care, but I try to stay skeptical in the fact I will get better.

Is it time to make a change with my doctor? is it possible this medicine does not work all the way for me? I am afraid to make a change because I don't have bad side effects with the prozac and really wish it would make me better. why am i not getting better

I have been on Prozac for about 6 weeks. First at 20mg then to 30mg the last 2 weeks. My Doctor says some people take about 8 weeks to feel the full effects of the drug. I am not crying all the time like I used to, but I do not expect to be dancing on tables either. Side effects are not bad just tired all the time. I'll give it a go for a couple more weeks. GL
