Persistent sadness: It typically takes about a month to see the maximum benefit someone is going to have with any one dose. If people are still having symptoms after a month, a physician may recommend changing medications, increasing the dose, counseling or testing for other health problems - like an underactive thyroid - that could cause depression symptoms.

NO!: Do not alter medications without physician's approval. Consequences can be extremely serious. Please be evaluated by a psychiatrist before making any changes.
