While some patients might begin to notice improvements in certain symptoms like sleep, appetite, and energy levels within the first one to two weeks, significant relief from depressive symptoms usually takes longer. The onset of antidepressant action is gradual, and it's common for improvements to be more noticeable after several weeks of consistent medication use. It's important for patients and healthcare providers to have realistic expectations regarding the timeline for the effects of antidepressants and to maintain regular follow-up during the initial treatment period to monitor efficacy and side effects.arrow_forward
