In reply to Re: SSRI's - why they loose their effect..., posted by crepuscular on April 24, 2002, at 10:50:56
My experience with ADs is that if they are going to work they've worked within a few days and have continued to work for years. Otherwise, if they are not going to work, I initially experience extreme adverse reactions (this has happened with drugs that once worked) and after these have died down there has been little else in the way of benefits. Why have some people (like myself) experienced quick results or nothing and yet other people are told to wait at least 6 weeks. I don't understand this, can someone explain? Surely if the reason for the positive effects is an increase in serotonin and if this happens pretty quickly then why doestn't everyone experience relief from depression within days rather than weeks?
