Okay, if the clinical trials were correct with Abilify, changes are seen within 7-10 days. And with Straterra, changes seem to range from like day 1 to day 92, but a lot of this may have to do with dose tweaks.
Antidepressants, however, I mean your doc is going to barely ask you if you're responding for the first month, having tried them for soc. anxiety, and that's if they work at all.
Never had depression before, have it now, and never tried Straterra. I have ADD too. Was thinking of the ever popular combo, Provigil+Straterra, at once, since my pulmonary specialist said it has better effects than either drug alone in his patients. (But since I'm apparently a basket case, he has to yield to my stupid pdoc, who is more comfortable giving me Desoxyn+Klonopin than Straterra!)
