switching between SSRIs

Posted by Peter on September 28, 2003, at 7:08:16

I know that there is a delayed therapeutic response to SSRI's, as it takes a few weeks for the serotonin reuptake inhibition to really begin working.
But what if you've been on one SSRI for 3-4 weeks and decide to switch to another SSRI?
Will there be another delayed period before the second one starts working, or will it sort of continue from where the first left off and thus begin working immediately?
