A member asked:
When is the normal amount of time for 20 mg of prozac (fluoxetine) side effects to lessen or subside?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generally ...: You should see certain side effects wane over the course of 1-4 weeks as your body becomes adjusted to the medicine. However, continue to talk to your psychiatrist about any side effects - as this offers you the best chance of success and they will know if a course correction is needed. Hope that helps!
