This is not very long. People who have been missed at the early stage typically need much longer treatment.

He was on it back in 1997 for 3 months, and keeps getting relapses. His doctor from back then is no longer practicing and we are having a hard time trying to find someone to treat, so three weeks was all they did for now, hopefully Dr. P has some answers...
