What can we expect from a person on an SSRI or SNRI in terms of results?
Depending on dosage and other patient specific factors, you may see increased neurotransmitter levels higher in patients taking an SSRI or SNRI. However, if a person has been on the medication for an extended period of time, levels can begin to present lower than expected. Since the neurotransmitter levels are being influenced by the SSRI/SNRI, it can take up to two months of nutrient supplementation to establish natural production of neurotransmitters. You will want to see serotonin test results at the high end of the reference range before considering titrating the SSRI
