Hi, A1chemist! I'm not new to meds but did want to comment that psychoactive drugs tend to have all sorts of individualized effects, which makes it difficult to compare one person's experience with another's.

It can take four to six to eight weeks for your meds to reach their full effect. They can have all sorts of side effects, some that go away after a short while and some that persist.

Fatigue, lack of focus, weight gain and/or weight loss (and a bunch of other things) can all be

• manifestations of depression, and
• drug side effects.

Try to keep track of what you're experiencing and report everything to your doctor. I wish you a good experience with meds!
