Thanks so much for clarifying - that's what I thought you meant - that 2 weeks on a med should be "sufficient" (my word here!) for some sign of improvement or worsening. I could tell that Celexa was starting to help after a couple of weeks, but plateaued after that, and also had ongoing foggy and heavy headedness. Tried taking it at night - no better. I'm now feeling like Effexor is not lifing me and may even be increasing my anxiety, obessive thoughts - as I went down on Celexa and up on Effexor I felt worse and when I was up to "full" dose of Effexor was the WORST day - had to call the doctor - she had me back it down to half till next appointment.
So, I guess by TWO weeks, a person should have some kind of sign, one way or the other, if a med is starting to work or is having adverse (bad) effects???? Thanks.
