Antidepressants do take a while to kick in - maybe one to two weeks before you start noticing a difference. Also, you may need to look at changing the dose in consultation with your doctor.
Antidepressants are great to help you feel better in the short term, but you may want to consider some counselling for the reasons that may be behind your depression. Believe me, it will be well worth it for you - because YOU deserve to be happy!
Best of luck, and look after yourself.

Anti depressants take a while to start working in unison with your body. It is not all about the medication they are not a cure to your depression. You have to meet them half way.
day by day make yourself simple tasks. Like day 1 get out of bed earlier, day 2 go for a walk after lunch, some small steps that make you feel better about yourself and can support you in your quest to get rid of this crying and down moods. It can be done I have been there but you have to have discipline with yourself to meet these pills half way!
Good luck and my heart is out to you.

i'm on paxil we had to raise the dosage, but it works for me. i finally quit crying all the time, but no drug can do it all for you . try a walk in the park and really stop and smell the flowers, watch the birds, notice the butterflies and never hurry anywhere! get a dog they are always there for you, they don't care if you're fat, ugly or anything else. try it it can't hurt and it may help!

No drugs will do . You can switch till you are blue in the face but without a relationship with Jesus Christ no thing else will help. Give it a try...Ask me I will show you how to get started.
