When a person starts taking an antihypertensive or antidepressant for the first time or sees their dose increased, how many weeks does it take to start benefiting from the therapeutic effect of the medication?

The time it takes for an antihypertensive or antidepressant to start showing therapeutic effects can vary depending on the specific medication being used. Some medications may start to show effects within a few weeks, while others may take longer. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions and continue taking the medication as prescribed, even if you do not notice immediate effects. If you have concerns about the effectiveness of your medication, it is best to discuss them with your healthcare provider.
