      Keep going on the same dose, 6 weeks os still very early and meds have not balanced in your body, it will take 4-5 months. But feelings of "normality" its good sign and thats how recovery begins. You wont just wake up one day feel normal and happy. Its slow changes and adjustments, feeling better step by step that sometimes you wont even realised. Compare how you are feeling month to month not week to week and than you will see progress.

      Keep going, you will be just fine
