A member asked:
If you're alrerady on an antipsychotic and it's increased how long does it take to start working with the increased dosage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Really depends on many factors but typically whenever medications are increased for these types of symptoms many would agree that improvements should occur within 2-4 weeks. Your doctor on the other hand knows the specifics of your situation and can give you more precise answers.
