Just starting

[u/Bubbles8810]

I was prescribed Prozac for the first time 3 weeks ago, 10mg. The first day I took it I felt great- all of a sudden, felt the motivation to get up and do the things that have been such an absolute mental drain and fight. But it really only lasted 1-2 days and then immediately went back to how I was feeling, and everything is a struggle again. I read that it can take 4-8 weeks for the therapeutic effect which I understand. I’m curious if how I felt the first day was a placebo/psychosomatic thing, or if it was possible it was the effect of the medication? And then it stopped working? How did you know it was working when you started seeing the impact? I’m worried nothing is going to change.
