Hi, Amelia. I feel for you. I take Prozac as one of my meds. It took several weeks for it to kick in. After about two weeks i felt somewhat better but it took much longer for me to get a better hold on the depression. I still get those down times so it's a constant challenge to keep me distracted. I work and that helps but it comes with its own stresses. Once I get home i don't want to do a thing. I force myself to do some chores even though i'm angry the whole time. At least it makes time pass. Then finally I get to sleep. That's the best time.
