It depends on whether your medication is to prevent it or to treat it on a "PRN" basis, or pro re nata--"take as needed." Your psychiatrist or doctor will have written the instructions on your bottle. Take as prescribed.
Thank you for contacting me. I am currently out of the office and not available at this time. I will be checking email periodically, but if you or your child is experiencing a mental health crisis, please call 211 for support. In case of emergency, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.
Hi there, this depends heavily on the type of medication and how quickly it starts to work in your body. Some medications are taken daily as maintenance therapy, others can be taken as soon as you start to feel anxious, called “as needed” anxiety medications
