> On 100 mg's of lamicatal and 75 of effexor. the lamictal I started three weeks ago but the effexor only about 5 days. How long does it take?
> I'm not new to meds and was on prozac for years and it helped I guess within two weeks.. in my depression the big thing is bombarding negative thoughts that just paralize me with anxiety. when I start to feel better it's easier to push those thoughts away. I just need some encouragement that there is room for improvement yet.

> thanks,
> Raineerainee, you'll be fine...there are many, many posters who can provide valuable information for your meds - as well as personal support - and it appears as if you are tolerating things quite well. as with any of these drugs and combinations, it takes time to feel the effect, and depends to a degree on the medication and the person's unique biochemistry.....you sound great, keep us posted! all the best, chemist
