When I took 20 mg of Paxil it worked in 3 weeks. I felt really good. I think 6-8 weeks is too long to wait [at least for me]. I'd go to 4 or 4.5 weeks, that's enough! Don't give up, they'll get it right.

> Everyone is not the same as you. We all have different experiences with ads and I have felt the full effects within a week already. You have 16 years of experience in your body and everyone else has their experiences in their bodies. Side effects and how long a drug takes to kick in varies with the individual. I have felt better in a day or two from some ads and a week with others and the information I get from my pharmacist says the drug may take from 2-4 weeks to work for a person. You are entitled to your opinion, the same as I am. I have been taking psychotropic drugs for years too and 16 years doesn't make you know more than me.
