I recently posted a question about time-scale for meds `kicking in` on another website.
I received a reply from a bloke who said that his meds took 9 months for a effective response to be shown.
I imagine that his case was extreme, but it might be worth bearing in mind that time-scales may exceed the `official` ones as generally cited. It would seem that this very much depends on the individual.
I also know from experience that it can take considerable time for med(s) to begin to be effective - it was over 5 months before Seroxat (Paroxetine) began to be effective for me. I think that a common mistake is that meds can be discontinued too early.
This is my opinion - obviously I am not a doctor, but I just thought it was info worth passing on.
Anna.
