It is different for everyone, but it can be months. It took me almost 11 months to feel good. I experienced many side effects with each change in the med. I had declined to medicate for years because of the side effects, just accepting that I would carry some extra weight, but they didn't really tell me what else was at risk, like my vanity was the best hope to get me to be willing to be on medication for the rest of my life (a really daunting thing for me.) I waited too long, and had a sudden and pretty shocking thing happen to my left eye called kaleidoscope eye where my vision broke up into little pieces. No one had ever told me my eyes were at risk! I work as an artist so it took about 5 seconds from that point to agree to the medication.
I do feel better now in general, but I still experience moderate side effects pretty regularly. Fits of sweating mostly, but sometimes hives or some racing of my heart. I have alot more energy now. Hope you get the winner quickly!
