When I started prozac, once upon a time, I felt "unusual" for the first few days or week. I can't remember specifically for how long-this was a long time ago, circa 1988-89. Though it supposedly takes a few weeks to start working, for me it was a matter of days. The initial effects that I can recall showed up within about 2 days, and included greatly increased energy, loss of desire to sleep as much- because I had so much I wanted to do, better concentration, and reduced appetite. I was actually quite excited about these changes, because before prozac, I was going through unsuccessful trials of very sedating or otherwise objectionable and ineffective (for me) tricyclics. Definately, within a couple weeks though, these side effects settled down, appetite and desire to sleep came back. This med worked very well for me for a long time.
