I'm not sure about the controlled release -- judging from the PI that is a minimal starting dose. In some that may be all that is needed, some may required more for their disorder, which I don't know what you are experiencing (anxiety, depression, etc.) In general, most SSRIs take up to 12 weeks to have a full effect on brain chemistry although some results can be seen in as little as a few weeks to a month. The CR is mostly a patent extender but its half life may help in decreasing the wait time. Its a wait and see thing in general.
The only antidepressant I've taken that has a more immediate effect is Remeron (not an SSRI), and that's very sedating.

Hope that helps
