How long does it take for my antidepressants to start working?
I started to take antidepressants last week but I don't know if they have started working yet because I am not happy. Should I be taking higher dosages than recommended? I really want to be cured because it is really starting to affect my marriage with my husband and grandkids even.

Shania, please do not self medicate with your anti-depressants! They are very powerful drugs and sometimes take quite some time to start to take effect. It also takes some people a very long time and trying many different types of antidepressants before they find something that works for them. Wait another week and then contact your doctor to discuss potentially trying another option. If you feel very depressed before this than please contact them prior to this. I wish you the best of luck and please be careful!
