How do you figure it out quickly when it ages to find/get to an appropriate dosage or adjust?

For example, Wellbutrin would be a go to drug for depression for me but, when I started it it was horrible and weeks later I adjusted even the appetite loss that had me quit it lessened and I stayed on it so long thinking that it might get better or that I needed it.

Or lamictal which takes so long to reach even 200 mg...

And many you cant even expect anything for at least a few weeks.
