Answers:
it takes six weeks to build a therapeutic level of antidepressant... and it is not a happy pill, all it does is enable you to think more clearly so you can deal with the issues that depress you in the first place, so get yourself into counselling as soon as you can.Health Question & Answer

genertic brands for medication has to have the same active ingredients as the brand name and is required by the fda, so generic isnt a factor. its different for everyone, one person might feel the difference in 2 days, another in 3 weeks...it all depends of your chemistry. but i would talk to your dr to see if you need to be prescribed higher...its all up to them...or you can try another medicationHealth Question & Answer

Sounds like you need to go out into the world and do something fun every now and then. I was depressed. but didn't need medication to get out of it.

rather nice thing to take a walk in the woods alone. or ride a bike around the city. maybe go do some things you've wanted to do for awhile.

you'll feel better once you get over that lump of not wanting to do anything.
