I am not a doctor but I do have a number of years experience with antidepressants. First thing is to take them . It takes weeks to get the the level to the point where it helps you. The second is that if prescribed by your family doctor the dose maybe to low. I was told by my psychiatrist that "most" GP's don't even get to half the dose needed. So if possible see a psychiatrist for the proper dosage. Lastly it took about 5 tries to get the right medication that suited me , we are all different and react differently

This all depends on what antidepressant is being used and the individual. Some antidepressants might work for one individual perfectly fine, but not so well for another.
