If you aren't depressed, if you are "normal," Prozac won't make you high. If you are normal, you won't feel anything from it, no matter how much you take.
If you are prescribed Prozac, it takes about two weeks to a month to build up enough medicine in your system for it to have an effect. Also, are you sure you took Prozac? Prozac comes in increments of 20mg and 10mg. I suppose you could have taken four 20mg and one 10mg, but why on earth would you do that if you weren't prescribed it? Like I said, Prozac won't get you high, and it's almost impossible to OD on it. Any excess Prozac that your body can't use is simply filtered out, doing no damage.
When you are on Prozac for depression, the "feeling" is one of being pulled out of a deep dark well and brought out into the sunshine. When I was on Prozac for awhile, it felt wonderful, simply because I had been depressed for so long that I had forgotten how good it felt to simply be normal. I learned ways to cope with my depression, though, because the great feeling of being normal was only an illusion. Prozac doesn't cure depression, it just makes it manageable.

You may not feel it until the second or third day. It needs to be in your system before you can really see the effects.
Please becareful of this drug! It can be really dangerous. I would suggest doing some research.
It can really mess with your mind. It is a narcotic. I took it and knew I needed to get off of it right away. I was depressed and had suicidal thoughts on it. I would think, well... it will only hurt for a little while... and was so passive about the idea! Once I needed to take pizza out of the oven and couldn't find a hot pad and thought to myself, "it will hurt, but I'll be okay!"
Prozac is just supposed to disassociate your negative thoughts with reality rather it is physical or emotional. Please, be careful!

Prozac is to treat Obcessive Compulsive Disorder. If anything, your moods will even out.

It usually comes in a 20 mg or 40 mg capsules.
Regardless, you won't notice any benefit on depression for at least a couple of weeks.

It take practically a month for the drug to fully kick in. One pill won't do anything. You have to take them on a regular basis.
