Typically, antidepressants or mood stabilizers, whether you just got back on them/starting them or are going up a dosage, take about a month and a half to kick in. It's how long your dopamine receptors need to regrow new dendrites, which get worn down and die off from depression.
I've been on and off lamictal for about three years. Each time I've taken it, it's usually taken about two months to kick in. However, going up a dose took less time.
It really just depends on the person.
