Usage
If dosage is increased does the SSRI Anti-Depressant drugs act any
faster?
There were times when the SSRI drugs were believed to the most amazing
and magical drugs available for the patients of anxiety and depression.
They are even used now a day as the good anti depressants and works on
the brain cells and change the mood. The SSRI changes the imbalance in
the brain cells and make them work better. Distant to their therapeutic
action the SSRIs are also famous for their comparatively little toxicity
profile. The best example is Lexapro who’s generic name is escitalopram
oxalate which. This works faster than the SSRI drugs.
The faster action case:
As mentioned above that the Lexapro has better and quicker than the SSRI
on majority of the patients, but it also takes almost 2-4 weeks to start
showing its effects on the patients. For the full results you have to
wait for a longer time period. Many of the SSRI drugs take minimum 6
weeks to even show any desired results. The drawback of such a long
treatment is that the patients become impatient and starts losing trust
in the treatment which is going on and they have not much hope to be
back to normal again. This is not a very healthy sign. All of this makes
the situation worst. Most of the life the side effects appear before
making any healthy and positive effects which makes the patient
hopeless. So one should search for the best anti depressants.
Will the higher dosage help you?
SSRIs work by slow down the preservation of little amounts of serotonin
throughout its stream from first to last the central nervous system. The
preservation poses negative trouble in the normal ones, but those who
are distress they rise to expand if the preservation does not occur or
is compact. SSRI does this, it makes a lot of additional serotonin
accessible to each brain cell from side to side which flows. But the
preservation is usually up to a greatest of 10% serotonin satisfied in
your brain. If you have embarrassment by the use of SSRI than it will
make strapping adequate to discontinue the preservation and the utmost
development in serotonin accessibility cannot exceed 10%.
It is not in consideration that how much dose you are taking, weather
high or low. The thing that should be remembered is that the serotonin
that gives you benefit will remain 10% weather the dose is high or low.
If you exceed the amount and take too high dose of the SSRI than you
have to face many side effects of it. So if you are taking the high
dose, it will not give you any extra and better results rather it will
end up in making things worse for you have you have to face extra side
effects.
Now that to conclude the above the points to focus on are that the
increased dose of the SSRI will never result in better and healthy
affects, so use the amount which is recommended by your doctor.
Increasing the dose will never help you. You doctor can make changes
into your dose from time to time by looking your condition, so trust
your doctor and do as he says. If the dose is exceeded than the desired
you will have to face many bad consequences of it.
