I would think any potential effects would occur within a couple weeks.
I started at 5mg and felt calmer during the day within 3 days. I went up to 10mg a week later and felt the difference the next day. I have been feeling agitated at times during the day so I started the 2.5mg in the morning which means less need for benzos.
