Dealing with Anxiety: To Take or Not to Take Medication?

One good thing about these types of medications is that it takes time to build up in your bloodstream. It takes 2-3 weeks to build up to a therapeutic level. Any changes positive or negative will generally happen slowly and increase with time. Everybody responds differently to different drugs and there's so many options that work completely different. If one doesn't work well, you can come off and try something else. It can be a bit of trial and error but try not to be patient and not get discouraged.
