I took 150mg for 16 months. It took a few months before I felt better more like my predepressed self. Give it a little more time and remember that the depression itself took a while to manifest. My doc told me that I should stay on the medication for a year from the time I felt better and the synptoms that I had had gone away assuming that this was my first bout of depression. Remember too that you may have to switch drugs since not everything works the same for everyone. I'd give it more time. Eat chocolate it helps!!!
