    Is it possible for medication taken for depression lose its effect?

    Depression Mental Health
    I have been taking Luvox and seeing a psychologist for more than 6 months. When I first started taking it I felt great. I felt that things were finally changing for the better and I was overcoming my depression and anxiety. Now it seems like I'm back to where I was. Everyone has noticed I'm not as bubbly as before. Should I keep taking it, change the dosage or speak to my psychiatrist?

    Hi there,

    I'm not a psychiatrist so would hesitate to offer an opinion here other than encouraging you to see your GP or treating psychiatrist. Medications often need to be monitored, changed, or titrated, so it is possible that what you are taking needs to be reviewed.

    Cheers,

    Max.
