Answer 3

It really depends on the medication, with some of the older neuroleptics the effects are irreversible, but if you're talking about more recent anti-depressants the effects reverse rapidly. I'm sorry I can't be more specific, but there's such a huge range of psychiatric drugs and every individual's brain chemistry reacts differently.
