How long would prozac (fluoxetine) take to kick in?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2 to 8 weeks: The initial improvement is usually felt at least on some day within two to 4 weeks. If used for ocd, significant improvement can take up to 12 weeks. In severe pms it can work within a day or two because it is working through a different mechanism. Best wishes to you.
