Being patient while awaiting for any anti-depressant to kick in can be very distressing. The most important thing to realize that there is no standard dose that works for every person. There are many issues that impact the effectiveness of a medication and it is important for you to take time to understand the reason you were placed on the medication. Generally the step-up of dosages will occur on a monthly basis or less frequently when indicated. Doctors do not want to start patients on dosages that will impede the body's ability to produce and process the chemicals in the brain that help us deal with depression and anxiety. There is an article that might help you understand a little bit more about anti-depressants that you can find on Helium - Zoloft: Questioning the Effectiveness. You can find that article at this url: http://www.helium.com/tm/210744/everyone-benefit-zoloft-there.
