How long does it take for sertraline to treat depression and anxiety?

Sertraline is a commonly used drug in the treatment of anxiety disorders. It has a faster onset of action on average and better efficacy. The onset of action takes about 2 weeks for most patients. When using sertraline, the dosage of the drug is usually gradually increased from a small dose. Most patients may not feel obvious within 1-2 weeks. As the dosage of the drug is gradually increased, the effect can generally be seen after 2 weeks of continuous use.

It is generally recommended that patients with anxiety disorder take medication for at least 3 months, which can significantly improve anxiety symptoms. If they persist in the consolidation and maintenance periods for several more months, the effect will be more ideal. If anxiety symptoms are severe, drugs with faster onset of action, such as benzodiazepines, can be used simultaneously with sertraline.

After taking sertraline, the effect of the drug needs to vary from person to person, because some patients are not seriously ill, or the mental anxiety and stress are not very great, and this situation can be relieved in a short period of time. Therefore, during the medication period, you must relax your emotions and often participate in some recreational activities.
