I am only into my 3rd week on this, and it usually takes 6-8 wks to see the full results, but I will keep you posted on my progress-but so far I think it has been helpful. My theory is that the ssri's will work by calming my system enough for my body to recover. The tricky part is they are quite stimulating when you first take them, so starting at a very low dose is best. Once they really kick in they are very sedataing-I've used them for anxiety in the past, and they were very helpful.
