It takes some time: to get to YOUR BASELINE of mental clarity. From your above statement it seems that you are on your way! May I suggest that you give it 1-3 mos and if no improvement then.. consult you physician to discuss other prescribe options. Sometimes it does take tweaking and trying other medications that is the best fit for your situation.
