    Hi Sarah, Having a support system is really important, I have a lot of personal/family experience in this area....it can be frustrating finding a good anti-depressant but, there are many different kinds and you most likely will find one that suits you, sometimes you have to be patient. It can be hard, we all want to be better NOW but, you take things a day at a time or an hour at a time (if that's what it takes)...do you have a therapist? A counsellor can help a lot, having someone in person to talk to can help avoid anxiety that can come with depression sometimes and make you feel less alone...I am always around, you're welcome to chat me up...do you have family or friends? I have no doubt, you will find some great people on here, so don't give up!!! Take Care, let me know if you have questions or anything, anytime💒☮🌈❤🍀♾🎶

    Hey! My doctors have been switching me through multiple different medicines but for a while I was on Prozac and felt little to no benefit after a couple of months. I would love to be in a support network as I'm also struggling with medicine and how it's affecting my day to day life even if it does seem to help with one thing how it could affect my personal life. I hope you get your medicine figured out in the meantime!! Good Luck!!

    It will take at least 8 to 12 weeks to get the benefit from prozac. Just give it time and faith it will get better
