How long did it take for it to kick in? Before that what were the side effects? I’m aware it’s a slow process with this drug but I’m getting desperate. Thank you

“Sleep, energy, or appetite may show some improvement within the first 1-2 weeks. Improvement in these physical symptoms can be an important early signal that the medication is working. Depressed mood and lack of interest in activities may need up to 6-8 weeks to fully improve.” Source National Alliance on Mental Health.

That was true in my case. But my psychiatrist added Abilify. I’m beginning to see light at end of tunnel. But everyone is different.
