It can take up to 6-8 weeks for you to see the full benefits of the drug, although you should notice some sort of difference in about two weeks.
Thanks. I hope it works. I can't eat..Hoping that's just a side effect that will go away soon. Losing to much weight. Have an appt. tomorrow with my hep doc.
My doc put me on ADs a month before I started treatment I have to think it helped alot or I would have been a complete basketcase. It sure did make things easier to tolelrate like a problem would come up but I'd be thinking "Oh that's ok I'll deal with it later no big deal" instead of the usual frantic panic I approach everything in life with.
So hang in there it does take a few weeks to fully kick in but it should make things much better for you.
It kick in that soon. I hope it does for me.I haven't started treatment yet and can't even begin to think of treatment feeling this way.
Yes, I took lexapro 10 mg per day during my first treatment and it worked well. You probably won't feel the effects right away. It takes about a week or so before it kicks in.
