I was always told to give it 4-8 weeks... but I know what you mean. That's exactly how I felt on effexor after 2 weeks... and it continued to the full 8. I then got off it... and all the "clarity" came back. Is this your first AD? I still stand by my thoughts on this shouldn't be a first AD... but when the more, shall I say "milder" ones don't work. Keep in mind too.. you know your body... you know how your feeling... and the longer you are on it, the worse the possible withdrawal might be. I wish I stopped after 2 then waiting the 8. I wouldn't continue it.... there are so many one's out there to try..... but that's just my opinion... most will probably differ.... Talk to your doc.... and just do what YOU feel is right.
