Hello, Theresa! How are you?

Usually, it should be about 4 to 6 weeks, that's the time frame it usually takes for them to reach their full effectiveness in your body and for you to know if it's going to work for you, or not.

What type of doctor have you been seeing, a general practitioner or a specialist?

Your best bet would most likely be to see a specialist, since they know different combinations of medications that can work for someone who is resistant to conventional treatments.

It usually takes a few weeks before you start feeling better, I've tried every antidepressant and seems to work the best for me... If all fails get on lithium. GOOD luck
