I've been taking this for 2 weeks and feel no different than I did before I started it. I still hate my life, think about suicide, scream at my son, scream and want to hit my husband and can't stand to look at or be around other people. Does this medicine work? If so how long till it starts to help me? I feel like I've been waiting all my life for help that has yet to arrive. Any thoughts or words of wisdom please . . . .

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
it worked great for me from the first day three years ago
so yr probably only on 25 or 50 mg now, no?
you will not start to feel a difference for quite a while, hun.
but when you do, if yr anything like me, you will feel WAY BETTERI.
it just takes time.
Be patient, and if you can endure it, stick with it. Will take a month or two at least for most people, to see any benefit from it.
Once I got on a full dose, which took over a month, it still took some time to figure out what worked best.
Since I also take Cymbalta, an antidepressant, I take a low dose of each and that works well for me.
