What are you again Julie? With mine it has taken 5 weeks to start feeling the affect, and I am taking sertraline. I felt worse between weeks 2-3.

My doctor told me about 6 weeks, buy everyone is different Hun. Can I ask if the meds are helping, my doctor has given me escitralopram 5 mg but been bit scared to start them yet due to side effects.

Glad to hear that, it's encouraging for me as I have been really worried about starting them, but know I need them to help calm my anxiety as I've not been able to get better on my own. I have severe anxiety and panics and agraphobia.
