How Long Does Etirest Take To Treat Moderate Depression?
Dear Dr,
I am suffering of moderate depression since 6 months and started taking antidepressants since 2 months,Doxedep 75 mg each night,but since I feel very restless in daytime another psychiatrist suggested 0.5mg Etirest 1 Tablet after Breakfast each day,it helps me in remaining calm,is it SAFE? How many months can I take it? When should I stop it?
Yes, these drugs are quite safe to take. Etirest will reduce your stress and anxiety.
Mostly with moderate depression , you need to take this treatment for at least 6 to 9 months and when symptoms vanish completely we can gradually taper off and can stop drugs in 3 months or so.
But never stop your drugs without psychiatrists consultation.
Hope I have answered your query, Regards, Dr.Chintan Solanki.
