When did fluoxetine start working for you?

[Ilovemycatalot]

On week 2 of taking it. Do not really feel better at moment would say anxiety has increased if anything.
I know all medication takes time to work and you can feel worse before you feel better so just curious how long it took to work for others.

Anyone??

1 week after starting it.

I had increased anxiety in week two. I started feeling a bit better somewhere around the middle of week 3. There is definately a period where it gets worse before it gets better. Hang on in there OP x

It was a really slow start for me, but it did work after a few weeks. Worth sticking with it. I found it helpful.

3-4 weeks for me. I found it hugely helpful when it did.

About three weeks - I found it great! I lost my appetite a bit initially but once my body got used to the meds, was fine again.

My daughter felt better within a week. She had severe panic disorder, previously. Everyone is different though.

I was prescribed it for depression. It is my wonder treatment and works in hours, but I am the exception. No other antidepressant works anywhere near as quickly.
