I've been on an anti-depressant for like 3 months and have seen very little difference. advice/suggestions?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Consult with your MD: After 3 months, you should be noticing a reduction in symptoms. Your doctor should be monitoring this with you. The standard of care is to begin a treatment; wait 2-4 wks; re-assess. If no benefit or only partial benefit--increase the dosage (when indicated) or switch to a different anti-depressant. 3 months is too long of a period. Call your doctor and be specific symptoms you are noting.
