It also seems to vary from disorder to disorder.

Prozac taken for depression usually takes several weeks to be effective; Prozac taken for PMDD usually works almost immediately. That sort of thing reminds me of something I've always believed -- that Major Depressive Disorder (or any other psych disorder, for that matter) describes a set of symptoms, not a distinct disease state. When I think of it that way, it doesn't surprise me that people react so differently to these meds.
