The first order approximation for the one-dimensional system driven by noise in an anharmonic potential is shown to agree well with the exact solution of the Fokker-Planck equation. Even for a bistable system the whole period of evolution to equilibrium is correctly described at various noise intensities.12 pages, LATEX, 3 Postscript figures compressed andStatistical MechanicsHigh Energy Physics - TheoryThe Fokker-Planck equation for bistable potential in the optimized expansiontext
