SSRI takes 2-8 weeks to act and on stopping the effects persist for 2-12 weeks approx.

Before worrying about side effects we have to focus on the effects of the drug i.e. whether the medicine is working for the illness or not. If you are experiencing any side effects, please consult your consulting doctor
