If Welbox does not bring any effects, is there another drug that can replace it? Previously, I used Prefaxine, it brought results for a very short period after 3 months. Thank you in advance and greet

Some patients with depression do not respond to the treatment used, which in the first line involves the use of products that affect the level of serotonin or serotonin and norepinephrine. You can meet with information that this situation affects up to 30% of patients with depression. It is believed that if after treatment with two different antidepressants, for a sufficiently long time (generally a minimum of 4-6 weeks) and in the right dose there is no improvement, then it can be said that the depressive episode is drug-resistant. In such a situation, the doctor may reach for drugs from other therapeutic groups, try to combine drugs or potentize treatment (through the addition of drugs that are not antidepressants). Non-pharmacological strategies are also possible, especially in very severe conditions. The supportive role of psychotherapy is indicated. Welbox is a drug used for depression. There are many substances used in this indication, while the choice of these drugs lies with the psychiatrist. It is made on the basis of an interview collected from the patient and collected medical documentation. It is therefore not easy to answer the question of what you could use instead of Welbox, because the treatment regimens in case of ineffectiveness of treatment are highly individualised.
