[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 658406, member: 1550"] My own experiences, CG, which may not be the same as yours, are that if an antidepressant did not work at first, and made me feeling no better or no worse, then it actually COULD kick in later in my trial period...as late as week eight. But if the medication started out giving me bad side effects or making me worse, it just kept getting worse and I had no desire to keep up the trial. You know your own body. It's up to us to help our doctors, who are foundering with too many medication options, not enough information, and some people who are medication resistant, to help them help us. Honestly, this is the true story of how I found my Paroxatene, which many people can not tolerate but works magic for me. I went to a specialist in ECT because I couldn't take my depression anymore and was willing to try anything. ECT had and has been improved, but still it was pretty drastic for me to go begging for it...lol. Well, he told me a new medication just came out and to try it and if it didn't work we could consider it. I tried it, expecting it to not work or half work, like all the others. When it hit about seven weeks, I woke up and I could feel a deep calm spreading throughout my body. Now, I'm talking about calm for ME ;) You never know. Don't give up. I hope you feel much calmer after you move to your new job. Hugs!!!! [/QUOTE]
