As TheGameGuy says everyone is different. My personal advice is not to expect too much from your meds. They will help you to help yourself if that makes sense (assuming they work for you).
You will probably start off on a low dose and your doctor will ‘titrate’ up depending on side effects and whether it’s working or not. That can take some time (weeks). The trick is to get a dose where you feel the benefit with minimal side effects.
I sometimes wonder if mine are working but if I take a break I realise they are. The effects can be subtle and also variable.
Good luck and let us know how you get on with them. Be patient and if they work they will make a difference. If they don’t work then try something else.
