5 Questions You must Ask Your Doctor Before Taking Antidepressants
4. As your doctor how much time you should wait to see if the medicine is working
Anti-depressants do not work immediately and do not work the same for everyone. Normally it takes up to a week or even a few weeks in some cases. Ask your doctor if he or she is planning to increase your dosage after a while in case your medicine is not having any visible effect.
5. Ask your doctor as to how he or she would define successful drug therapy
Your doctor’s reply to this question should be, complete remission of symptoms and regular checkups and follow-ups to your condition.
Doctors are not always right and you should never shy away from asking questions to your doctor. The more questions you ask, the more knowledgeable you will be about your condition and the treatment you are undergoing.
