Time marches on, it seems! To Ant and Inrovertd - the key w the psych drugs is to be completely transparent with your doctor about how you're feeling and advocate for yourself. If it's not working, or you're not digging it, say so.
Introvertd, I think it took about six weeks for me to feel any sort of mood lifting from my AD - the real success of it for me was that I could eat and sleep, which went a long way toward nervous system healing. You're doing great, and and I know I was disappointed in myself for leaning on another drug to get off a drug, it's as temporary as you need it to be, and you're working with a doctor. PAWS is brutal - it's ok to have some extra help in your toolkit to get through this!
