Hi,
One thing that might be going on is the effexor might have been doing at least a little something but it takes prozac at least several weeks to even start. So you're pretty unmedicated really, right now. Your brain was used to at least a little effexor and now there's none. Even if you don't feel like its a rebound, there is probably a little withdrawal there.
The prozac has a really good chance of working, but it does take time. Feels like forever to wait when you're depressed, (I know).
Prozac worked for my depression (was better than paxil or zoloft or any of about 5 others for me). I got energetic and pretty happy and able to deal with negative things and less anxious after about 6 weeks. I could feel something was starting to help after about 2-3 weeks.
Don't hesitate to call them and say how depressed you feel, whether or not you want something else or whether or not you think you can tough it out. They should know.
