[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 341980, member: 2423"] It depends on the class of medications. You might see immediate (same-day) results with a stimulant, although sometimes the psychiatrist will start with a low dose and then titrate up after a week so you might not see significant results right away. An SSRI antidepressant usually kicks in in about 3 to 6 weeks. A mood stabilizer takes about 6 to 8 weeks to become fully effective. Atypical antipsychotics generally work within a few days or so. Do you have any idea what your difficult child's diagnosis is? [/QUOTE]
