Most people say after 6-8 weeks call it quits, and I'm really hoping I don't have to do that - I have confidence in this med and would love some insight, personal experiences and hope. Maybe it is time to switch meds but I would hate to go back to an SSRI
No. In fact, it sounds like you're rapid cycling. Has anyone ever talked to you about bipolar disorder? I would talk to the doctor about switching to something like lithium, lamotrigine, or latuda.
