Levoxyl... How long to effect?

My daughter has just been diagnosed with, among many other things, Secondary (Hypothalamic/Pituitary) Hypothyroid, and given a prescription of Levoxyl.

How long does it take to feel ANY effect from it?

For the curious - She has LOW TSH, LOW T4, LOW T3... and low (normal) rT3. That low rT3 supposedly is the only thing that distinguishes it from Sick Euthyroid Syndrome (at least according to what the doctor just told me).

From the Sleep Disorders board... I was told that it takes 2-3 weeks. How long since you started yours?
