i hope it works soon

Give it another week or so. If you don't start to feel better, go straight back to the doctor and explain what's going on. It usually takes about four weeks for the meds to really start working. I wish you the best.

some times it can take up to 4 weeks to see an improvement. Do you feel any improvement at all?

I agree with the others, it normally takes 3 to 4 weeks for the meds to kick in, so hang in there. If there's no improvement soon go back to your Dr. All the best

it can take from 6 to 8 weeks to kick in. if you are not feeling ok or you are feeling desperate call you doctor.

hugs

Thank you all. Do you think because of the extra stress I am under could blanket the workings of the med?

Your instincts on that are probably right on. I sure hope this gets better soon. Prayers.

*hugs*

stress can do a nasty one on depression...

*hugs*

I hope you are feeling a little better soon

*hugs*

As the others say it takes around 3 to 4 weeks for the meds to take affect. hang in there ((HUGS))

I was on Celexa about 5yrs ago.It took a good 4/5 weeks before it started to work.Celexa worked the best for me out of all other meds.But yes,,it did take a bit to kick it and do it's job.Extra stress will definitely add to your already stressed out feelings.We want so bad to feel better and we're impatient so when we don't start feeling better we stress ourselves even more.Hard as it is try to relax,,even a bit if you can.I know how hard that is believe me.Also,,what did you Dr say also? If they didn't say ,,ask!!That's their job too,,to educate you on each of your meds.I hope it starts working real soon!!!!

thank you thank you! I needed to so hear that. Gosh I have been this way for yrs. but never had a good response, except for zoloft which didn't agree with me side effect wise ,except it worked wonders, and I want that feeling again
so I am going to be a guinie piq, cuz I want to feel good. I think it is starting to work. You have to respond to others about this. Cuz when you are going through depression , or other things, we want a fix now!!!Thank you , Thank you.
