I am on divalproex, quetiapine and clonazapam for anxiety. I'm also in therapy once a week. I am really working hard at this, and I'm wondering when I can start seeing results! I'm curious of others experiences... Please and thank you

It usually takes four to six weeks for meds to kick in , however the clonazapam should be working already.

It varied from person to person and from med to med. Most of the time its 4-6 weeks but there are cases where it haas taken longer, as well as shorter. Also keep in mind that not all meds work for everyone and you may have your meds changed and adjusted several times before you see improvement. Best of luck!

Clonazapam "immediately" and divalproex 1-2 weeks according to here:
Mood Stabilizers for Bipolar Disorder | Psych Central The sedation from Quetiapine also "immediately", other effects a few weeks. |

I take .5 mg of clonazapam for panic attacks, it takes about 20-30 for me to feel "ok."

I would say minimum couple of weeks to notice improvements. And for full effect 6 - 8 weeks !

It really depends on the med. The commonly heard 6 to 8 weeks is for antidepressants, and mainly SSRIs.
I hope I don't have to wait 6 weeks for my sleep med to kick in. (Sorry if the joke is inappropriate...) |

If you're titrating the dosages up too it could take a while longer to get to the therapeutic dose.
