Bummer, that. Sorry it didn't work for you. I'm afraid of the same experience. Still, I wonder if you gave it a long enough trial? Conventional wisdom seems to be that several weeks are needed for most ADs to kick in, and for side effects to subside. Though, that hasn't been my experience. Usually, I find the side effects don't get better, and I get a quick response followed by a quick fizzle. That said, I'd still go at least 6 weeks before giving up, just in case. What did your doc say about you quitting after 11 days?
