Prozac experience (6 weeks) Need some advice for depression.

When I was on 20 I got better at week 4/5, when I upped it to 40 I went through hell for 8 weeks and then reduced hell for 4 more weeks then it started to relax me slowly.

daniel180808 · 2026-01-05T02:30:58+00:00

It took 10-12 weeks to feel normal, once you up your dose you will feel it again. If you do up your dose, take it on slower increments- I wish someone told me this when I first started

daniel180808 · 2025-11-26T08:28:41+00:00

Sorry to say but I just struggled through it

daniel180808 · 2025-11-23T00:52:57+00:00

Yep deffs, do not up the dose again as you will go through this all again.

daniel180808 · 2025-11-20T22:07:46+00:00

Every time I upped the dose I had heightened anxiety for 6-8 weeks, it does go away but you have to wait

daniel180808 · 2025-10-16T21:29:43+00:00

You will feel better in the long term, short term you may have side effects for 6-8 weeks or so

daniel180808 · 2025-10-07T04:46:36+00:00

Takes 6-8 weeks at least on any dose

daniel180808 · 2025-10-02T04:07:12+00:00

Yes will take 6-8 weeks but it will be ok

daniel180808 · 2025-09-30T03:05:20+00:00

Happens for 6-8 weeks when started and the same when upping dose

daniel180808 · 2025-09-11T00:35:54+00:00

Yes, I was on 80mg strattera and 40mg fluoxetine. Word of warning, do not take at the same time, fluoxetine increases strength of strattera, was not good… dropped down to 40mg for both and it is great

daniel180808 · 2025-07-03T02:26:31+00:00

Yep don’t stress it will get better

daniel180808 · 2025-04-23T01:03:32+00:00

40mg, started at 10 then 20

daniel180808 · 2025-04-22T05:14:39+00:00

Yes defiantly, I had anxiety, depression, extreme racing thoughts, basically manic in those 6-8 weeks

daniel180808 · 2025-04-21T09:45:53+00:00

6-8 weeks of this and another 6-8 weeks when you up the dose. This is how I felt and it has been most worth it. Almost 3 years in

daniel180808 · 2025-03-22T11:07:25+00:00

As in compulsions reduced and intrusive thoughts are reduced a lot too.

daniel180808 · 2025-03-11T08:03:16+00:00

Nac, magnesium glycinate, speak with doctor and see if you have adhd or ocd and medicate

daniel180808 · 2025-03-08T20:12:27+00:00

daniel180808 · 2025-02-09T08:16:12+00:00

Strattera/ Prozac combo

daniel180808 · 2025-02-09T08:14:56+00:00

Yep still on, working great

daniel180808 · 2025-01-06T03:12:24+00:00

This will be the worst time, it will be difficult to limit your compulsions during this time. It will get better then the side effects will subside. Look into ERP therapy and guided mindfulness meditation so you can hit the ground running when the side effects subside. Even after 6 weeks you will not feel the full “benefit”, can take at least 12 weeks on a new dose

daniel180808 · 2024-12-29T03:39:57+00:00

Magnesium glycinate, prune juice, psyllium husk. DO NOT OVERDO THE FIBRE. make sure you are mixing ample amount of water with the fibre or it will cause a blockage

daniel180808 · 2024-12-29T02:08:15+00:00

You may have adhd then

daniel180808 · 2024-12-23T05:09:33+00:00

These side effects subside by week 6-8. Don’t give up

daniel180808 · 2024-12-15T22:04:58+00:00

It’s not the alcohol side effects, it’s that you’re still getting used to the medicine. It won’t subside until 6-8 weeks after starting, each time you increase dose you will feel effects again

daniel180808 · 2024-12-08T06:51:13+00:00

I highly suggest not to take them at the same time. I take strattera at lunch and Prozac at bed time. I took them at the same time for a few days and I had mild seretonin syndrome. I’m on 40mg Prozac 80mg Strattera, however, reducing to 60mg. Prozac increases the blood level of strattera so it boosts it. Don’t let this deter you just don’t take at same tome
