Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to find the right medication?
Finding the optimal medication typically takes 4-12 weeks. Most medications require 4-6 weeks to show full effects, and dosage adjustments may be needed based on your response.
Will I need to be on psychiatric medication forever?
The duration of medication depends on your condition and treatment response. Some people benefit from long-term medication, while others may eventually reduce or discontinue with medical supervision. We'll discuss this with you.
