How long does it take to feel an antidepressant?

Well, there are some fast-acting ones, and ones that take time to build up in your system. You have the Antivans that are from the Valium family that can make you feel relaxed in about a half hour, but the effect only lasts for a short amount of time. And then there are drugs like Prozac that take 4-5 weeks to build up in your system, but are a lot longer lasting.

Usually the short-acting ones are given to help people get over a temporary speed bump of life, while Prozac is given for conditions that might be caused by brain chemistry. So it depends on which one your doctor has given you. If you're on a Prozac-like drug, you have to wait it out.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
