I noticed a lift in my depression almost immediately. The only real side effect I noticed was a feeling of internal shakiness, sort of like feeling weak or like the shakes that come with low blood sugar. It persisted for quite awhile, so I lowered my tiny dose from 600 per day to 450 per day, and that seemed to keep them at bay. Making sure I drank enough water also helped. Recently I was able to raise my dose back to 600 mg, and the shakes haven't come back.
It's been a very good adjunct to my other anti-depressant meds for me. I hope you find positive results as well.
