Overview Of Antidepressants

Reasons For No Improvement

There are quite a few reasons why some patients may not see any improvement when they are taking an antidepressant. One of them is that they are not taking a high enough dose. Another one is that the specific antidepressant they are taking is not working for them and they need a different one. These reasons for no improvement are ones that doctors can fix easily by adjusting the patient’s prescription.

Antidepressants are effective for many patients, though it is worth understanding that some patients may need multiple treatments to see improvement in their symptoms. The most common combination is antidepressants and therapy. In rarer cases, some patients may find that antidepressants are not for them and need a different approach to their treatment that does not include them. Patients should talk to their doctor about these possibilities as well.
