I will have patience with a med as long as it is either neutral or slightly positive during the first week. But if it makes me feel profoundly more depressed right away, forget it, I'm out of here. There are so many other choices. No sense in wasting time and taking risks with something that worsens your state in hopes that it will somehow magically turn around weeks later...that does and can happen, but the statistical odds of it happening are much lower than when a med has an initial neutral to slightly positive response. Opportunity cost.
