Hang tough my friend! Patience is a virtue and in your case, a must!
When I switched over to Lexapro from Nardil, I was without an AD for 3 weeks and it took another 6 weeks for Lex to kick in. I knew I had to give the Lex a fair trial before I even thought of quitting. Fortunately, I was able to summon my every ounce of determination to persevere, and in 45 days, I was depression free. It is 3 months later, and I am still unipolar depression free.
I know I am not telling you anything that you don't already know, as I consider you a walking encyclopedia when it comes to AD's.
Hopefully, this AD will be the one that works for you. We are all behind you.
