I wholeheartedly agree with oscar on this one; it took me a full 6 weeks plus on Paxil to get any relief from ocd/anxiety/depression, and then I had to work for that much more to regulate the dosage, but once I got it, I found relief and was able to be happy for the first time in a long long time; these medications take patience, at least Paxil does, so hang in there
