Hello,

I am taking Prozac 20mg daily. I was prescribed Prozac because previously Zoloft didn't help me after 6 weeks. Right now I'm taking Prozac for 5th week. Also I'm taking olanzapine and lithium.

How much time does it take for Prozac to work? I think it's about time to see some effect.

By the way, side effects are really bad, I couldn't eat anything for 2 weeks, right now my appetite is coming back.

Any suggestions, experiences?

I think you may need to give it a couple more weeks to see if it's working or not. I know when I first started and anti-depressent it took me about 4 weeks to feel any effect.

I'm sorry you've been having bad side effects. Hopefully they'll clear up soon.

Good luck with it.
