Most psychiatric medications require 2 to 4 weeks for effect. Sometimes, they will react more quickly.
Citalopram usually takes 2 to 4 weeks to start reducing anxiety symptoms. Full benefits may take 6 to 8 weeks. Be patient and keep taking it as prescribed. If you have any further questions or need more clarity, please consult with a psychiatrist. If youre in Texas, we welcome you to reach out to www.MidCitiesPsychiatry.com, were here to help you.
Every person is different, but usually antidepressants can take up to 4-6 weeks to see benefit.
2 weeks.
Typically, we wait at least 2-3 weeks to see if any response. The effect is usually seen between 3-6 weeks.
