What has been your experience on prozac?

Question

i recently started taking prozac and am curious what other people have thought about their experience on the drug. i've heard a lot of downsides to taking the drug and was curious if anyone has had a good experience on it.

Answer 1

at first i lost some weight but didn't have any other side effects.  I liked it it worked for me.  my doctor just switched me to paxil bc it's cheaper and might help me more with ppd and one of the side effects is loss in appetite.

Answer 2

I've been taking 20 mg once a day for 7 weeks. Began to feel the full effect at 6 weeks. I am feeling much better. No bothersome side effects at this point and sleeping fine. My depression started to lift after a few weeks but took a bit longer to help my anxiety. Hope it's helping you.
