I have been taking it for 20 days now... I have seen relief depression wise, still waiting to see relief for anxiety. I think probably I am going to up my dose, to see that happen. Side effects for me have worn off mostly.. stomach upset is common, and I also dealt with some muscle twitching that has gotten better. Everybody reacts to meds differently though, so give it a try. I am trying my hardest to be patient to see better results myself.
