Sure, I understand.  It's just always a good reminder, because sadly people don't usually give the meds a fair shake.  Two weeks is great, you may start noticing some subtle improvements soon.  Just have to stick it out.

I posted this quote on my status, it's a good one.  :0)

Remember, these meds take time.  To be fair, I recommend giving them at LEAST 8 weeks, and that doesn't include any dosage increases.  If your doc recommends a higher dose, then you have to then wait the 4-6 (+) weeks again.  It's frustrating, but necessary.  Too many people throw in the towel way too soon.  It's much better to exhaust ALL possibilities with ONE medication before considering making any changes.

I tried that same med and zoloft also this past week and also have anxiety about taking this meds and started feeling itchy all over and got a bad headache so i stopped the meds.
I realized I need to find a DR i can talk to and also who will precribe meds and understand the phobia people may have about taking new meds and will be able talk about it and separate real side affects from anxiety side effects that you may bring on yourself.
