Treatment: Five weeks is often a good time to assess how the medication is working at that dose. However, would not make any changes to dose independent of your prescribing provider. In the meantime - Don't isolate. Use your support system. Get out. Don’t stagnate at home. Sleep at least 8 hrs/ night & eat healthfully. Daily exercise is a big +. Try acupuncture, tai chi, qi gong, yoga, meditation or CBT.
