The way we take medicine for health conditions similarly we take medicine for mental health condition. There is no harm taking medicine. It will only help.
Since how long are you taking medicine? It takes around 2-3 weeks for medication to actually starts giving it's effect.
Recovery duration varies from severity to severity however, it usually takes a year long process to have medication.
If you are looking for best results. Follow a combination of medication and therapy. That does wonders.
Next Steps
Visit a Clinical Psychologist also.

Feeling low, having crying spells, sleep and appetite disturbances, and difficulty in concentration and attention are some of the signs of Depression. Consult a Psychiatrist for a detailed assessment. It is likely with medication and counseling the symptoms will improve. If you are feeling suicidal or hopeless consult a Psychiatrist immediately.
