>Hi:
Yes, it does take time, but this time with this current combination was much shorter. Trust me, once you start feeling better, you won't want to go back!..hahaaa. Usually the first things to improve are the ones that are giving you the most trouble: be they sleep/insomnia, apathy, and eventually, anhedonia (inability to experience pleasure.). Anxiety also improves, but sometimes the occasional 'jumpy' anxiety takes a little longer to overcome. But, that really bad, acute anxiety does ease up, though. It is one of the first things to go. Geezz...I sound like I am 'cured' or something like that...and I am far from it!..hah. But, life becomes 'livable' again, after being to the 'darkest of dark' places. There are tons of people with lots of good help for your journey back to feeling better on here. Just remember that, you *deserve* to feel better, much better. You can, and will. It certainly is not always 'fun' and such as you already know. Try to educate yourself, because you can and will become your best advocate. Your doctor doesn't know the pain you are feeling at 3 in the morning. Anytime you want to chat about whatever......we are here!...
Please take good care,
Jay
