It may take: 4 to 6 weeks to get a really strong response. 2 weeks is likely to be the earliest. Take care.

7-10 days: Within 7-10 days you should notice some improvement. The medicine takes time to have the full effect. Please be patient. You may want to review one of the checklists on "Living with depression." Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
