In reply to DO medications help for depression long term?, posted by fuzzymind on December 15, 2002, at 3:11:28
They do make long term changes in the
brain, new connections, hippocampus expansions, etc I assume the largest modifications made
are in the first few weeks (that is if you respond) but I personnaly have been constatly improving over the course of two years on celexa.
The immediate changes are quick, but it takes a longer time to unlearn all be bad ways you were approaching a situation.If, after discontinuation, you brain cannot sustain the higher levels of neurotransmitters, I suppose you could lapse back. Remember, every external action occurs simultainiusly with a neurological one.
Good Luck
