6-8 weeks: Does everyone do this?

Posted by Conundrum on September 15, 2010, at 21:45:11

I posted on another board where i was beat down with star*d results that showed that a few weeks isn't enough time to know if an antidepressant will help, but it takes 6 to 8 weeks. I did not know this and my last two psychiatrists did not believe this for quite a few drugs. I hope I'm not getting short changed, but damn it can be hard to be that patient.
