A member asked:
If i have an anxiety flair up when taking my ssri inconsistently, will getting back to a consistent schedule help reduce the anxiety?

Yes, If you don’t take your antidepressant medication consistently from the beginning, you won’t get a good result. The prolonged effect needs between 8 and 12 months of CONTINUOUS USE !

Yes, compliance will be critical in order to understand if current SSRI is treating your anxiety disorder properly as otherwise no further decisions can be made regarding treatment.

You can help yourself by regular exercise. Aerobic exercise of 30 minutes/day is as effective as medication for mild to moderate depression. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
