> Is it possible to be on an antidepressant for 5 weeks and feel absolutely nothing, not even a slight improvement, then all of a sudden have a response on the 6th week?
Yes. I have heard of very specific onsets- people remembering the actual time and place the med kicks in.
Usually i think an SSRI or TCA (if dose high enough) would kick in before the 6 week mark, but not always.
MAOI's take longer
Has anyone here had an actual experience like this?
