General, antidepressants usually take a minimum of 5-7 days atleast before you start to feel better. But will have to be continued for a minimum of 2-3 weeks till your doctor decides to change it incase you have no improvement to it.

Do not worry, you will start to feel better in 1-2 weeks minimum. Further do not adjust the dose on your own, feel much better in the next 3-4 weeks i.e. one month Continue follow up visit with your doctor and discuss queries if any
