    Ok... first off 10mg is such a small dose it will barely do anything... next off nobody sees an improvement after 16 days... it took me 7 weeks before I seen anything and then an increase and 8 months or so to really feel great. It is slow acting but if you can be patient then I found it was worth the wait.

    sometimes it takes a few antidepressants to find one that works. i was always under the impression that an antidepressant would make me all happy and bubbly but it really only makes me just. numb really.
