meds working so soon?

[iloverats]

ok, so i'm on aripiprazol 5mg and sertraline 50mg i've been on them just 2 and a half weeks.

i was told to expect it 6weeks + to have any effect, however, they appear to be doing alot of good already? is that even possible?

My psychopharmacologist told me that the 4-6 week thing is actually a myth. Something about information from early studies being distorted...I didn't quite follow his explanation, but he swore people often feel results in a week or two.

It can range from anything from 2 to 6 weeks. So yes, it is possible that they have already started working.

yes it could be working already.
it works faster for some people
