For me it did take a long time. I went up dose and it slowly crept up on me over many months. I am on the maximum dose now. (225mgs XR)

I was told by my doc it's one of the AD's that can take a long time to take effect.

It hasn't completely solved anything for me, so don't expect miracles, but when I think back to before I started, things are better.

Hi Joy,

I agree, 5 weeks is a tad too long hun. Maybe the dose they have given you is too low or it may just be that this med is not for you and they will have to give something else a go. Give it another week and if still nothing then i would insist they reviewed it.

Good luck gal
Love Lisa
