> Thanks! Not taking any other meds & this is the 1st I've been on for depression. Glad to hear you've had great results..I will give it some more time & hope to start feeling better, more motivated...I was surprised b/c my doc acted like I should've been feeling results in 2 weeks, but after reading the posts here, seems it takes a lot longer.

I'm also new to this my doctor raised my to 15mg after two weeks. I also take .75 mg of Xanax four times a day. I normally wake up with anxiety and sometimes suffer with that all day for a few weeks which causes depression, at that point I just think negative. I agree, with all I have read I'm willing to give it more time to see the final results. Mine all started with a panic attack in March. I wish you the best of luck, I know it's tough. I get some relief by reading these postings.
