Brief Answer:
dont worry, drug has started acting & will help
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Its ok for now, the drug has started acting and it is actually building up in your body and working...till two to three weeks drug takes time to act properly.
Just give it sufficinet duration and have patience. This phase of feeling good will increase every day and gradualy you will feel back to your self again.
Try to have more green diet and go for walks in park...you should also start execrcises or may be just start jogging- this is very helpful in releasing endorphins in brain (natural chemicals which make you happy).
Wish you speedy recovery!
Please feel free tio ask more questions for clarification.

thank you so much you've been a lot of help because I couldn't understand why I only had a few hours feeling good today but it must take another week or so
Brief Answer:
the effect will increase, learn relaxation also
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
All the best to you. I can understand the confusion patient has when he feels good and then back to low during initial days of treatment. This is the reason we must make it clear to them that the drugs are different and effect comes slowly but gradually one is almost completely fine in few weeks.
Your doctor would wait for three weeks to see the initial effect of this dose and if he feels you need more dose then he might raise it once. I hope that you become stabilised at low dosage (and this is possible as you already started to show improvement).
Also try to lesrn JPMR - a relaxation exercise which is very helpful.
wish you good health.
