    Prozac, like all SSRI's, takes between 2 and 6 weeks to take full effect. During this period of time you should be seeing your psychiatrist on a fairly regular basis and they will most likely be slowly increasing your dosage over a period of weeks to months until the desired therapeutic effect is achieved.

    God bless.
