    Hi Sophie,  Most doctors advocate a period of six weeks, which in my case was right, but this will vary with each individual so it could be shorter or longer, but not by much either way. Hang on in there

    Its different for everybody. Some people it is 6-8 weeks and others it takes months ive been on 20mg for 9 weeks now and im having good days and bad days the bad days are usually when i sit in bed dont go out of the house and dont keep my mind occupied. Even though im still having bad days i am sticking with these tablets because i am so much better than i was 9 weeks ago
