> thanks so much to everyone who replied to my post. i put the patch on this morning - so far so good, but i guess it takes days/weeks to see any effects. thanks for the valuable experience info!
It usually takes weeks to see beneficial effects. That's the double edged sword of antidepressants: often, you get adverse effects during start up, many of which go away once you've passed through the adjustment phase. Sometimes, if you're not prepared for that, the adjustment phase effects can scare you away from a medication, which is a shame. The best advice I can offer is to give it a good eight weeks to see if it's going to work -- if it does, it's worth it.
Good luck.
