Be aware that for the first 2 weeks you might feel like committing suicide because antidepressants boost your energy and appetite before they boost your mood so you still don't feel great and want to do something about it. After the first 2 weeks, you'll feel a lot better. The meds, at least for me, makes me lose my appetite.

Also, this is a website about Prozac: https://www.drugs.com/prozac.html

I had no problems with Prozac. It took maybe three or four weeks to start
working. I think. It was so long ago. You don't need to eat food with
Prozac. I don't seem to have problems with medication. But since
everyone is different you may or may not have symptoms.

I had bad experience but for others it works.

Just because an ad says anti-depressants can cause suicidal thoughts doesn't mean its going to happen. Prozac is an old school SSRI anti-depressant, the most common side effect is some restlessness and difficulty to calm. Unless your just unable to get out of bed with the only thought running through your head being suicide, the odds of Prozac causing you to start having Suicidal thoughts is not that high. You do have to give it some time to reach a therapeutic level in your blood and let it work on your brain chemicals properly. But that's going to be with any psych med.

If you notice any wierdness or feelings you don't care for, call your Pdoc and see about a different one. Celexa is a very good Anti-Depressant with very few side effects.

Thank you all for your input. I know everybody is different but I wanted to hear others opinions. I know I have to give it some time to take effect... will I notice I change? I don't want to feel doped up or like a different person. I'm 25 years old will multiple health issues and now they tell me I'm depressed.. it's just too much for me all at once to deal with.

I’ve tried a few medications before and Prozac seems to help me. I’ve taken it for a few years and I haven’t noticed that much for side effects. When I first started taking it I got really bad heartburn. At first I wasn’t really sure what to do about the heartburn but I find that if I take the Prozac with a meal or with a lot of liquids it doesn’t seem to be an issue. And sometimes people can feel drowsy when they take Prozac. I don’t feel sleepy or energetic when I take it but I’ve noticed if I take it before bed I don’t sleep properly. I’m just sort of restless and it takes a while of me to fall asleep and I’ll wake up during the night. Everyone is different but for me I take it with my lunch and I don’t have any issues.

Jasmina thank you for that... I don't want to be kept up all night I'm going to try it tomorrow night since I don't work Saturday. I already have medications to take in the am and didn't want to add more to the morning mix
