Q.How Depression Medication Works- Advantages/Disadvantages ?

A.A strict dietary regime must be followed. Failure to do so can result in hypertensive crisis, which can be fatal. Many other medications react badly with MAOIs. The categories listed above are by no means exhaustive. That is, your doctor could prescribe a drug that does not appear in any of the general categories mentioned. New drug treatments for depression are being developed and tested in pharmacology and research labs around the world. In the U.S., drugs must receive FDA approval before entering the consumer market. Your doctor will choose the drug that's best for you. When starting a medication, your doctor might adjust the drug dosage, depending on your reactions—this is not unusual. Some medications must be taken for a period of time before results are seen, so it's important to report any problems or side effects to the prescribing physician. Because some of these drugs have serious interaction effects—that is, if you take them with other medications, the result could be very damaging to you—never take antidepressants that were prescribed for someone else.
