For any anti-depressant or mood elevator like the ssri sertima 25 to work, it takes about 2-3 weeks due to the long pathways involved in it being effective, if at all. A response may be an improvement in symptoms and a recovery is getting to 90-100% of baseline. I would wait for a month, if I were you, while regularly following up with your psychiatrist. I also recommend that you take a second opinion since you have already been on a ssri called stalopam in the past. Look forward to hearing from you. If you need help with booking an appointment online with me on this website either text, audio, or video appointment for a confidential and private consultation you may do so by contacting the help desk of Lybrate.

It is a starting dose and may need to be increased further. usually the medications for depression and anxiety disorder will need 2 weeks for the effect to be observed.
