<<How exactly can it turn around 180 in a couple weeks to improve mood? Can anyone explain? I've been concerned too, that people are reading, understanding her report as something along the mood of, "Well it's been a couple days- not working yet! It sucks!">>
Once I read a research report saying that depressed people display a higher sensitivity to stimulating drugs like amphetamines. They tested both normal and depressed subjects and noticed that depressed people responded more vigorously to stimulants. Maybe that's why we have such bad reactions. SNRIs and others use to be stimulating drugs.
It does take time for neurogenesis and structural changes to happen, so such bad reactions hit us in a bad time.
If our system will start a healing process with a drug is a big mistery though, but we only discovery this giving enough time for both the drug and our body.
How are you doing blueberry? Best luck with your treatment (you too laima). You'll be fine :)
