I took Prozac for OCD. I really don't remember ever reaching a point where I noticed that I felt "better". My husband pointed out to me after a month or so that I wasn't spending nearly as much time on compulsions. I really hadn't noticed, but when he pointed it out, I realized that he was right. I also noticed that (incidentally) my mood and energy level were improved (I didn't have major depression then, but it is possible that I was slightly dysthymic). It was so gradual that I almost wasn't sure that I wasn't imagining it and had to ask him if he had noticed any change in me (he had).
I am now on Effexor (about two months) and am waiting to see how it goes.
