Most adults notice some effect within days to weeks, but finding the right medication and dose often takes several weeks or a few months. Clinicians start low and adjust gradually to balance benefits and side effects. It is normal for this process to feel slow or uneven. Titration is not about testing patience. It is about finding the safest and most effective fit for your nervous system. Ongoing communication during this phase is key.
