I would say that (likely) 6 weeks at any dose is a decent time to assess the effects of a med.
3 weeks is a good indication, but possibly not long enough to get a good idea.
The drinking binges may be a sign of a different imbalance that needs to be addressed. Perhaps augmentation with a med that increases gaba may help both depression and the desire to binge.
Have you ever taken, say, gabapentin or lyrica?
