I'm at work and not able to do anything. I feel very very edgy still and I can't cry. Is this them working? Is this all I can expect? Are they the wrong ones for me? Am beginning to despair...

Any advice anyone? Once again, I'm sorry for pretty much hogging the page!

No, fms, this isn't all you can expect, they probably haven't kicked in yet. It can take up to a couple of months, but the average is about a month to work I think.

Don't despair, if the prozac doesn't work, something else will, but give it a little while longer

I've been suffering with post natal depression for 9months now and been taking prozac. I felt exactly the same as yourself to begin with, I thought I was going crazy and there was something wrong with me.

However, I've turned a corner it took a couple of months to kick in but I now feel like I'm back in control. I won't lie to you I do still get down days, the prozac won't make you feel like the happiest person on the planet but it will make you feel normal again, and those down days won't feel as bad as they do now.

Keep at it, it will get better!!
