A member asked:
Do ssri's effectiveness wear off after taking them for a while?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: What sort of time frame are you talking about? If it only worked well for a few months or less - the drop off can be related to an effect all medications carry - placebo or hopeful expectations. It's hard to sustain that part w/o awareness of it. Talk to the Dr who prescribed and consider a CBT psychotherapy referral to increase the benefits of any pill. Best!
