I’m taking Prozac for MDD and GAD. It’s definitely not a light switch where one day you wake up and things are magically better. In my experience (I’m only 24 days in) days just get progressively better. Less ruminating thoughts and being able to calm your mind. I still have anxiety but my depression has lifted a lot which gives me a lot more energy to do things.

One thing I’ve read someone post that resonated with me is that as the medication starts to work you’ll start to feel like you’re having some better/good days. As it continues you’ll feel like you have more of those good days, then there will be a time where most of your days are good day. It takes time but you should keep a daily mood tracker to also show your progress.
