You need to allow the medication to work, upwards of five weeks. If you are through this period of time talk to your GP. If you are sleeping well that is great. Onward and upward.

Hi Trev 2105, As another reply has stated, you need to allow the medication time to work, which is at least 5 weeks. It can be frustrating when you do not experience relief sooner than this, but try to persevere with the treatment and you will start to feel better. Please continue to access support from this forum. Best wishes.
