Is Solian Effective In The Treatment Of Depression?

Two weeks is it enough time to find out if that particular antidepressant drug is working on one? My daughter 19 non verbal autistic started Solian (100mg 2x a day) 30 Aug. Now after 12 days, she no longer feeling sleepy but mood swing still comes on & off. Wondering it works for her.

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Although the claim is made that some people may be able to start to feel less depressed within 2 weeks of taking one antidepressant drug , most people won't start experiencing the full positive effects of the medication until 6 to 8 weeks after beginning it.

Solian or Amisulpride belongs to a group of medicines called antipsychotics. It is used to ease the symptoms of schizophrenia.

Like for antidepressants,even for antipsychotics,it is necessary to wait a couple of weeks(at least 2 weeks) to have full effect of this medication.

If you see that even after some weeks there are not improvements with her symptoms,than i suggest to consult her treating psychiatrist to change or modify the therapy.

Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if i can assist you further.
