Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks so much for using my direct private service.
It takes sertindole as many as 8 weeks to take full effect. You may notice some improvement beginning as soon as 5 days (as it begins to work on the dopamine receptors). However, full effect typically takes 4 to 8 weeks due to long-term changes in dopamine and serotonin receptors in the brain.
