    delay in pills taking effect

    Has anyone else experienced a delay in the pills seeming to take effect or is this just the way the brain works?
    I take my 40g tablet first thing in the morning and then prepare myself for a day of feeling crap and 'the chatterbox' constantly running in my head .It is not normally till late afternoon that a sense of calm and being able cope finally makes an appearance. I set myself tasks, gardening, house repairs ,shopping etc but all the while I am fighting to keep the tears and just wanting to curl up in a ball at bay. Will the bad bits get shorter than the good bits in time?

    If it's ssri's, the usual kind of anti depressants, it can take a couple of weeks before they start working properly.

    Hopefully you'll find your mood will improve once you've been on them for a while.
