In brief:
Zoloft/Buspar
No specific time frame, as long as they are helping with your depression/anxiety.
Med's are started to treat the acute phase of the illness, then dosages are adjusted when you reach the maintenance phase, then depending on prior response & episodes, the minimum effective dosages are continued into the recovery phase. Work with your doctor on treatment plan.
