Hi,
Yes, restarting the same medicines can still work even after a gap. But they usually take time to reach full effect again often 4 to 6 weeks, sometimes earlier. Since you’ve already been back on them for 3 weeks, give it at least another 2–3 weeks before judging the full benefit. Stay consistent, don’t skip, and keep your doctor updated if sleep or mood doesn’t improve. You’re not failing for needing them again sometimes long-term treatment is what the brain needs..
Next Steps
Keep taking your meds as prescribed, track your sleep and mood daily, share changes with your doctor, and don’t stop suddenly. Add gentle routines steady sleep schedule, light exercise, calming practices. Lean on support, you don’t have to carry this alone.
Health Tips
Sleep at the same time daily, even if it feels hard. Limit late caffeine and screen time. Use deep breathing or soft recitation before bed to calm the mind. Break your day into small, doable tasks instead of chasing perfection. Remind yourself healing is slow but steady, and every little step counts.

Do not worry, medications will have response, you have to be patient and at least 2 weeks are minimum for response
One person has improvement on particular medications , in future in most of the cases, that medications are prescribed since in the past person have improvement on it
For full improvement you have to wait a few months, may be 2-3 months
Along with medications you have to follow certain lifestyles modifications as
Deep breathing relaxation exercises
Reduce screen time
Fixed time for Medications
Dinner before 8
Never lie on bed immediately after meal
These changes will aid in sound sleep that will reduce anxiety and Medications have better response

Hii..
Generally the medication which you tolerated well in the past will work better but there might be a need for some dose adjustments if stopped abruptly..
It will take at least 2-3weeks for the medication to show the results completely
Consult online for further information and treatment

Effect of medicine decreases 2nd time if you abruptly stop it. Any new medication will take at least 3 weeks to show its effect. Full improvement depends on disorders and vary from person to person. It’s not necessary that everybody having full improvement.
