Dear Benazir, All these antidepressants take 2-3 weeks to start action on your mood. They lift the mood at a particular dose. Doctors always start with low dose so that you can tolerate them better. After 2-3 weeks you need to consult the doctor again. No need to go to different doctor. Most of the anxiety drugs will be stopped by the time your mood improves. Depending on the diagnosis, improvement, side effects, psychosocial factors, the duration of treatment may be 6 months or life long. Discuss with the same doctor.
