In reply to What is the FASTEST time that an AD/SRI has worked, posted by McPac on September 27, 2002, at 12:35:23
Approx. 11 years ago, when I was first put on an antidepressant (trazodone 75mg) I was practically cured in two weeks. I experienced the "better than well" usually associated with Prozac - although it wasn't better than well - it was normal - just right where I thought and felt I should be. Unfortuately, 3 months later I decided I was "back on track" and stopped the Trazodone abruptly. 11 years later, I haven't responded to any treatment.....not even trazodone again.
But it was miraculous. 2 weeks and no depression. That's why I continue to hold on....because I know I can feel like that again....
> Has anybody here ever experienced an EXTREMELY fast reaction time to an anti-dep.?
> I read how it takes weeks, even months, but has anybody ever went from feeling very depressed to MUCH, MUCH better in a mere few, or, even a couple days?
> Or, how about: if a med DID work for you BUT you went off of it for a decent period of time and the depression came back....and then you restarted the med again...ANYBODY ever feel 'fine' in a day or two? Thanks! I need answers.
