Medication does not work in the same way for every person even though you have the same diagnosis. Each body has a different metabolism.

Usually medication takes 4 - 8 weeks to work to reduce your symptoms.

Do you realize you are actually taking more of the drug if you take .5 mg 3 times a day?

If you can't tolerate the side effects and they cause you problems, I say give that particular drug up and try something else.

If you current doctor is not helpful, maybe get a second opinion or a referral to a psychiatrist for specialist medication management.
