      when you change dose your brain needs to get used to the change in serotonin all over again so technically you are at 2 weeks. the clock resets every time you change dose.

      that sounds bad but actually it's pretty good news because the reason you haven't seen improvement is because 2 weeks is so early for most people x

      each dose needs 6-8 weeks 12 plus for maximum effects not the 4-6 weeks the docs tell you x
