In the past it has taken me about a month to feel the effects. Most doctors would likely say up to 8 weeks. I know the waiting can be difficult, but I have found it to be very effective.

It takes about a month...your brain reacts to antidepressants backwards from what it's designed to do for that month...your serotonin is lower for that period until it eventually starts doing what the medication is designed to do. Hope it works for you. Best wishes
