In reply to Re: do the meds really work? my opinion, posted by under the weather on May 11, 2003, at 1:25:02
As far as I know almost all of the ADs have side effects at first. My doc told me the first month is generally side effects and that it takes that long usually for the med to work. I have felt worse on the ADs in the beginning but when they kick in and the side effects wear off, I feel so much better. The idea is whether you can handle the side effects long enough to get relief. I would say the time between side effects going away and the med starting to work is a month. Some side effects linger a little longer, but mine have subsided.
