MODERATORS
Some of the drugs work quicker than others. I've taken several that took weeks to build up, and I really didn't notice feeling anything except giddiness and nausea. But I've also taken one where the doctor told me it would take weeks but I felt my energy clearly increasing within days. I wondered if it was a placebo effect, but the effect stayed and it turned out to be the most effective antidepressant I've taken. So it's possible OP is experiencing a real beneficial effect, depending on the drug.
