A member asked:
Doctors can you tell me when should i take my first antidepressant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
When and how M.D. Rx: Antidepressants are prescribed by doctors after a thorough evaluation of a person's mental and physical condition. If it is determined that there is a condition which would benefit by such medication the doctor will prescribe it. The instructions of how to take it will depend on the specific medication, other meds being taken and the physical and psychological circumstances.
