6-8 weeks is the norm for all antidepressants.

Hi, glosta!
It may take about two weeks or so to start feeling the benefits. Hopefully sooner but be patient.

Although it can take 6-8 weeks to achieve full efficacy you should still feel more improvements early on because you've already been taking the medication.
