I would like to learn about the stages of recovery from depression when taking medication.?


Question:
My best friend is in her 6th week of meds. She had one good weekend in the 4th week, and then only several good days. These periods seem to be lessening and her lows are becoming more difficult. I am taking Effexor, but I forget what recovery phases I went through. I recall feeling great relief in week 8. Are these up and down swings (more down) typical in recovery?

Answers:
hi, i would say yes they are somewhat typical. her body is geting used to having these strange things in her.
plus her body is learning to cope.


so i would say yes its typical.
but I'm no doctor.
