Maybe it's not the right medicine for you. Something you'll want to check-in with your doctor about.

It can take three to four weeks for them to really kick in. Give it some time. Sending positive thoughts for you.

Hi barlock...it can take up to 4-6 weeks for medication to reach full efficacy,

a few days longer if the dosage is raised. Give it a chance, it just may be the key

to your anxiety.

Meanwhile, keep shoveling. Breathe in the fresh air and exhale the stress.

Pink cheeks and all, you'll feel better in the moment. xx

Sounds like a good idea. Sometimes the more we do, the more we

want to do. Positivity begets Positivity. xx

I too struggle with what to do during the day now that my father and beloved 15 yr old dog passed and and my daughter married and moved out all in the past three months no less. My life has been turned upside down and now I know longer function like I use to. Can barely drive to the store. . I never had a problem finding stuff to do , huge Gardner , well always struggled in the NY winters they are brutal and depresssing. But with grief , depression and anxiety it’s hard to concentrate on anything. I can only vaccum , sweep , wipe counters so much so challenging waiting to see if the meds kick in and if they are even the right ones. No wonder people get so discouraged and despair appears
