Hi Angela,
I am taking Prozac 10mg. I saw my therapist yesterday and he said the same thing. Just to give it some time.
BTW I felt good yesterday, and I am feeling tired today. So I guess it will even out eventually.

Hi Michelle,
I think I'm in a similar situation to yours, todays my 8th day on medication. I am also feeling alert and awake but also feel very hyperactive and restless, I can't seem to be able to be still and calm. I feel heaps better than what I was feeling like before the medication but I'm not use to it yet so I've been frantically cleaning and doing things I wouldn't normally be bothered doing.

I am taking Effexor-XR 75mg.

I'm sure some people have seen quick results and I have to before but I've been told to that giving the medication a full month to really kick in is very common as well.

Thank you Jerry for your reply. I will give it some more time.

Michelle, it really depends on how severe your issues are and of course the medication you are taking and such. I'm not a doctor but from my experience medications usually take some time to really do start doing their full effects.

I just finished my first week of meds. I am feeling awake and alert today. I also feel on little on edge, and was wondering if this edgy feeling will go away? Or is this as good as it gets?
Michelle
