If switching from one antidepressant to another, can depression get worse before it gets better.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That might happen.: When going down on one medication ; up on another - the change is not always seamless in regards to your depressive symptoms. This would be especially true if you need to stop one medication completely and be drug free for a while before starting the new medication.
