Medications take 3 weeks to finally have spread out into your system. The Doctor who usually will prescribe the medication should let you know how long before you feel some type of effects because a lot of medications take 3 weeks sometimes four it depends on what medication it is how much you're taking and and for what ailments and then doctors will also tell you that whatever time that you decide to take your medication that's who try to be consistent and take it at that same time or time everyday because when your body starts to build up with the medication you take it at night it's working on you through the night and then you get up in the morning if you have to take meds in the morning it's like as soon as that first dose is wearing off the noodles will just pick it right back up touch

150mg is the starting dose then it goes up to 300mg depending on symptom management
Just remember it can go up if you're not feeling the full effects
Sucks that it takes weeks to know if it actually works though, but that's with all meds
