Will it take less time to have an effect because I've been on an antidepressant before?
Many thanks
Just come off paroxetine and gone onto duloxetine. SSRI's don't seem to have an effect on me

Hi, Lee!
Unfortunately it really won't make a difference. How long were you on the paroxetine and did you try increasing dosages? Have you been on other SSRI's too? What are you taking them for?
Don't give up... there are some other options that you can discuss with your doctor.
Sorry for all the questions above... just trying to get a little more details.
Best regards,

I loved my Effexor (venlafaxine) but it "pooped out" after 7 years. I hope the SNRI will work for you!

PS, You need to find a new doctor... preferably a psychiatrist who knows how to prescribe and manage medications.
