That is one of their advantages over the older drugs - their rapid onset .

Oh! I did not know that. I was on Prozac for quite a while and had been warned to be patient as it would take two weeks. (and in my case, it did)
Thanks for the info. Now I wonder how ethical it would be to slip some in my friends morning coffee? He steadfastly refuses AD's and I sure wish he'd be more open minded.
