I suspect you don't want to hear this, but waiting until you've been at a therapeutic dose for four weeks really is the only way to know if this medication will help you. Switching away because you're impatient for results isn't going to help you.

Frustrating as it is -- and I know how frustrated I get -- giving the medication a fair chance now saves you time in the long term. What's four weeks now, compared to the forty years of improved quality of life you may get from it?

Also, ask your doctor what he has in mind if this doesn't work out for you. It always helps me to know that there are plans in place, because it removes some of the uncertainty. That helps me a great deal, and it may help you a lot, too.

Good luck.
