Oh yea, 2+ weeks is not long enough..most ssri/snri meds take 4-6 weeks before you get the full med. benefits.What you are doing "questioning whether this will work after 2+ weeks" is very normal..we all do it. It's very hard to be patient when you suffer from depression/anxiety. So hang in there, and before you know it hopefully you'll be feeling much better. May God bless you.
