That last part isn't true. People report credible effects of positive mood immediately. The issue is you can't necessarily trust these self-reports and it takes roughly 1-2 weeks for someone with a clipboard to start writing down results that correlate with a perceived increase in mood.
Some adverse reactions to SSRIs are so bad people will kill themselves if they go a month. If it doesn't feel right you should just stop taking them.
- sillysaurusx 5y agoThat last part is my own experience. It was so true for my case that I nearly didn’t discover Prozac at all, because I gave up after the first week. It wasn’t until many years later that I knuckled down with the consistency, since I had nothing to lose. As it turned out, I had everything to gain. All of this should be done with the supervision of a doctor.
