Personally I dont think 10 days is even close to enough time to see if a med is helping or not.. yes you may see some effect in this short period but as mentioned it could take 6-12 weeks to see the full extent of if the med will be beneficial for you in the long run or not.

Before I started seeing a pdoc my GP use to put me on a psych med and if in 2 weeks it wasnt helping she would switch me straight away.. then when I started seeing a pdoc I had to trial those same meds all over again but this time for a decent amount of time and different dosages.. to see if it was helping me and with some of those meds it did!

thinking of you
