It’ll take at least a month for you to feel any progress, 5mg is also very low, I don’t think you’ll feel anything noticeable. Be patient and wait for your psychiatrist to increase to a therapeutic dose

It took my body awhile adapt and notice. It also takes your body time to heal from stress and anxiety. If it doesn’t feel like it’s working after a month I’d definitely recommend asking your doctor to up your dose to 10mg!
