However, this usually disappears completely. I like to think that this blip represents a good prognosis, but I have no numbers to support that idea. Several studies indicate that a persistant improvement can occur as early as in the second week. However, once one goes beyond 4 weeks at a therapeutic dosage and without an improvement, the probably of eventual response decreases substantially.
