I agree withe everything everyone else said, the key here is PATIENCE. I know it is hard but you really have to wait at least SIX weeks and probably eight--I have never felt a lot better until eight weeks into a med but that is my experience and you may be different but I remain unconvinced that you can feel true, even slight, AD effects from any SSRI, or SSRI type meds, in less than two or three weeks--that is for unipolar depressives, I don't know about you bipolars and bipolar II's.
