More like 8 weeks for me, but that may be more anxiety-related.

Very important to wean on and, if you need a change, to wean OFF the meds slowly.

It's not completely understood why it takes a long time. The brain chemistry is changed quickly, but it takes longer for moods and emotions and such to be affected.
