So please hang in there.

You know, I really hope in the future that it wont be like this. That those of us suffering from depression wont have to wait several weeks for a medication to kick in, that we wont have to switch medications and dosages time after time to get the right "fix".
Psychiatry needs to advance to reduce our suffering and cure us in a more effective and timely manner.
However, until that time, this
is the system that is available and we have to work through it.
