It is especially useful for treating people with depression who also have anxiety or depression with hallucinations, delusions, or other psychotic features.

Directions

Take Asendin exactly as it was prescribed for you. The recommended starting dose for depression treatment is 50 mg two or three times daily. Elderly people are started at a lower dose (25 mg two or three times daily), as they may be more sensitive to side effects. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose to make sure you get the best results from this medication. It may take as long as two to three weeks for Asendin to start working. It can be taken with or without food. If it upsets your stomach, try taking it with food.
