I feel confident most people here would say this is too long. I think it is way too long. One of my big beefs is how long it takes to try a med. There's a theory that it really doesn't take that long at all (how many more times can I use "long"?;)).
Somewhere on this site is an example of that thoery - I'll see if I can find it.
Meanwhile, I would call your pdoc and set up a series of meds to try. That way, even if you have to wait a month or so, you'll have a plan.
I agree that atypicals can be useful, too. If your pdoc won't discuss these or the other concept, he/she may not be open enough to really be helpful. Some pdocs pick a med they like and try to fit everyone into it.
You don't deserve to have to wait for recovery.
