Hi, Dappy!
Most people will
begin to see some minor improvements within the first couple of weeks which means that the drug is beginning to work. However, it can take 6-8 weeks to feel the full benefits of the medication. If after 8 weeks you've seen no improvement let your doctor know as your dosage is on the high end. You may need to consider other options.
