How long did it take for full effects of Prozac?

Zoloft and cipralex have worked well for me . many have success with Lexapro also. we all react to these meds in diff ways so there is no shure fire way to recommend something. its mostly trial and error I am afraid. I am currently on a low dose of cipralex at 10 mg with no side effects but it took 2 months to work. you should feel some positive results very soon . if not mabey time to see dr for a change. when Prozac kicked in for me-it was all of a sudden . I woke up one am and felt much better. I feel one med should work well for you and you should not need a booster med . usually only people with really hard cases to treat need multiple meds. I feel you should respond fine on one right med. no I am not a dr-just some one with a lot of experience with meds and this affliction. hibee here knows a lot about meds from experience also. we all pool our knowledge here. its a team effort

Thanks super20dan. I agree with everything you said. I can see some improvement in the way I think, but still have the physical effects of anxiety. I am actually going to see a new psychiatrist in a week to be evaluated by a new doctor. It is an almost 2 hour initial appointment so I know it will be thorough.

SC - I see a psychiatrist for my medications. I was on Pexeva, which I believe is a sister pill to Paxil, for several years but got off of it after not being happy with the results. I am hoping the Prozac will kick in more one day soon. If not, I'm hopeful. New doctor with a fresh perspective will have a positive route for me.

Thank you all so much!

I was put on Pexeva in 2003, I believe. I only knew that it and Paxil were closely related. My anxiety has definitely evolved into a stronger thing since then, unfortunately.

Prozac question/update: I feel a nervous energy and jitteryness about me now which is new. I'm wondering if it's related to my anxiety or medication. My OCD is getting better, panic is better, but my general anxiety is still there. Trying to decide if I should hold out a bit longer on the Prozac. It'll be 8 weeks on it come Monday.

I think it is starting to work! I still have general anxiety, but I'm guessing that's just me. The shakiness is still there - if I hold my hand out it visibly shakes. But I am also shaky; it's just worse now. I went down to 20mg two weeks ago. Much better on this dose!

I just checked and tremors is a common side effect with Prozac. I never had them when I was on it. the rash was what led me to quit it mostly but it did work on my anxiety and depression very well
