    Hi

    It takes 4 to 6 weeks for the medicine to build up in your system. Then afterward probably a little less time if your dose is increased. I doubt that you'll really notice it because you're already well on your way to feeling better.It's as if you wake up one day and realize you're actually feeling better.

    This has happened to me, but I take Effexor XR. Lexapro was not the medicine for me. But it doesn't really matter, as long as we get to feeling like ourselves.Good luck!!! Stay active!
