If you were perscribed a benzoadipine (like Xanax or Ativan) then it should start working right away, as they are immidiate release and work on the anxiety receptors of the brain.

If you were given an anti-depressant then it will start to work in 2-4 weeks. Your doc should have given you something for short-term as well as long term
