How long does it take for meds to work?

Or how long do you give a med before deciding its not working enough?

I just started Zyprexa, Trileptal, and Remeron so if you have any info on those thatd be great

For me at least 2 weeks for most all meds. Some a bit longer. Sucks

Zyprexa worked rather fast for me maybe 4 days.

3 weeks for me

I've taken zyprexa and trileptal although not together. My guess is about a week before noticing a major improvement. What symptoms are you having. So glad you are off clozaril!

Remeron for sleep, instantly!
Lithium and wellbutrin about four weeks , but they worked thank God

I've taken all three but never together at once, can't remember the how long the other ones took, I don't think I was on them for long but I'm currently on Trileptal and have been for maybe 2 years. I think it took a couple weeks

Remeron for sleep right away. Zyprexa worked for me in about 3 days. I don't know about triliptel

I haven't been on all three together but they seemed to work within a week. Remeron worked within minutes for sleep but took longer as an anti-depressant.

The only one of those meds I've ever taken is Zyprexa, and it took only a few days for it to get me off the moon. It was increased in the hospital four years ago because I was depressed at that time, and that also helped (oddly enough). Then I went back down on the dose when I stabilized, and last summer it was increased again when I got hypomanic. It works better and faster for mania than depression, in my opinion.

Give it 6 weeks for the cocktail to kick in. Remeron is faster, but ugh, it made me eat and sleep all day, every day, and I just stopped taking it I was gaining weight so fast (not good to have someone with a past of an ED have a med like that). I have not taken the other 2 meds. I think I was on Remeron with Risperdal & Trazodone.

For me Zyprexa works right away. Remeron (without Zyprexa) worked at first but after a few weeks stopped working.
