Antidepressant effects on some antipsychotics can happen in terms of days actually -- I felt this on Zyprexa. They're much more fast acting, which is why although its extremely harsh, Haldol is sometimes used in cases of suicide attempts in the ER. But I am assuming and hoping its not that dark for you so yes, I would say within a week or so compared to weeks for SSRIs.
