In contrast to the earlier replys... depression often is slow to resolve even when on the right med. 2 weeks is not near enough time.
depression is not just a mood thing... there are significant brain chemical changes that have to correct. the correction takes time
short attention span & poor concentration are hallmarks of depression. full recovery is often slow & may take months, for some of the symptoms. depression & its effects do not happen in a day or even 2 weeks.
Significant recovery is slow. give it more time. 6 to 8 weeks is not uncommon to get to an even keel.
augmentation with stimulants at this point is way too soon...
