Antidepressants are a class of drugs used to treat various mood disorders including depression. These medications help stabilize a person's brain chemicals to improve mood. It's important to meet with your doctor, carefully evaluate your circumstances, and put together a plan that safely allows you to decrease your antidepressant dosage over several weeks or months. It can take up to six weeks after the first dose of medication before it has an antidepressant effect. For some people, it can take up to 2 months or a little longer before they start to feel better, and the maximum benefit is felt after 6 months.
