That's great Robin, I am glad you have had good experiences... I felt good before and I'm trying so hard to get back there because it's a great place.
I have taken 5 other meds before, Effexor, Paxil, Seroquel, Zyprexa, and Geodon and all of them I noticed response within the first week.. the kind of response I would consider feeling happy and like myself. So that would make me believe that this isn't going to improve. But on the other hand, I definitely can say I have not gotten worse, or have been suicidal (like I slightly felt w/no AD).. I just feel about the same as when I started, maybe a tiny bit better. Just not productive, not really happy, slumpish, tough to get motivation. So I'm wondering if it's going to get better or what, because if this is it, I definitely need something else. It definitely doesn't feel like the reponse I have had on other meds when they were working.. like when you can say for sure "I feel good and like myself"... I think we all know what I'm talking about.(we've all been there at some point!) So do you think because of my early responses with other meds that this just isn't the one? or since I feel not suicidal that I should stick with it or increase dosage? I feel like I'm stuck at a 5 out of 10 since I started and I can't feel emotion...
