舍曲林治疗抑郁多久起效,有依赖性吗？舍曲林治疗效果怎么样？

Sertraline tablets, first developed by Pfizer, are commonly used to treat anxiety disorders and are also used to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder. This drug is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It was launched in my country in 1996 and has been favored by many patients. Today we will take a closer look at how long it takes to treat depression and is there any dependence? How effective is sertraline treatment?

Antidepressant and anti-anxiety drugs are mainly tricyclic drugs such as amitriptyline and doxepin, but these drugs have serious side effects. After sertraline was put on the market, patients have good drug effects, significant improvement in symptoms, high safety, and no dependence. Generally, it takes 2-4 weeks for sertraline to treat depression. Depressed patients with more serious conditions may need a longer period of time. Patients with no obvious short-term effects should patiently continue to take medication according to the doctor's guidance for the time being, and at the same time observe whether the symptoms of depression are relieved. Treatment of depression requires a relatively long treatment cycle. In addition to drug treatment, psychological counseling and self-mediation are also required. Depressive symptoms should be treated comprehensively from multiple angles.

So, how effective is sertraline treatment? Sertraline tablets can effectively relieve restlessness, palpitation, and insomnia caused by anxiety. In a clinical trial comparing sertraline and paroxetine in the treatment of anxiety disorders, 66 patients were given paroxetine in the control group and sertraline in the observation group. The results showed that the total effective rate of treatment was 90.90% in the observation group and 75.75% in the control group. The incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was 9.09%, while the incidence rate of adverse reactions in the control group was 24.24%. It can be seen that the therapeutic effect of this drug is significant.
