most medication takes at least 6 weeks before you feel the bennefit of them, so i would give it a few more weeks as long as you have told your gp about your side effects and symptoms and he says its fine i would just stick with it a bit longer

take care

My doc wanted me to give Prozac at least 3 months to get any real benefit so I guess it varies between different meds and also how the person reacts/settles with the drug.
