Thanks a lot - it's really comforting to get a bit of support. Actually I have been thinking that on every med I've taken that's had some benefit (Prozac and Nardil) it's taken at least a couple of months to kick in. My dad, who is bipolar (I just get the depression!) says it takes at least 8 weeks for his imipramine to start working.
And I don't know if it could be linked, but in my fairly limited experience of recreational drugs a few years back (nothing now), I always seemed to take much longer to "come up" than other people.
This week has actually been even worse than last week, I've been really anxious almost constantly, but one thing I've noticed is a side effect that seems to have just kicked-in. It's not in the package insert, but it's mentioned on another site [Crazy Meds] - it's very slight jaw clenching/chewing.
Anyway, thanks for your reply h - it's really nice to get this sort of support!
