If one is trying to balance chemicals in the brain this takes time. There is no super med that works in a week or two. What they say is that you may BEGIN to feel better or see results in a week or two. My crying jags quit after the first dose. I became numb, but would still cry time to time. So I guess looking back I did get results very early on if you want to call that getting results. But it took a good 6 weeks before I hit what I would call feeling better. If one is feeling like their old selves in a week or two I have to believe their depression or anxiety was minor to begin with. TAKE CARE!!!!!!
