Oh this waiting for the antidepressants to kick in is brutal! Horrible in the mornings then kinda good in the afternoon then antsy come evening. Just give me some good whole days please! Positive thoughts then negative thoughts nauseated then not. I feel like just put me in a pysch ward get me better and send me home! Instead its like here take these pills try to stay out of hospital and oh the ativan dont take that unless u have to lol. Well pretty well have to everyday small dose 0.5. Anyone else all over the place?

I know that doctors usually like you to wait 6 weeks for full effects of antidepressants. I’ve been where you are and completely agree it is such a test of our patience. I’ve always felt that mornings are the worst as well. Be strong, it will get better! Wishing you the best though these tough times.

The waiting is very hard but that is how long antidepressants take to work. In the meantime work at being kind and caring and gentle to yourself. Treat yourself like you would if you had a cold.Our brains are sick when we are depressed. The antidepressants get our brains functioning again. You will feel better so hang in there. We are here if you need us.
