Talk to Psychiatry on Phyciatrist . Depression
Asking For Self, Male 19, isb
I need phyciatrist to answer. I have been taking anti depressants for 3 months. but now I feel alot better and I feel that I don't need tablets any more. therefore I want to discontinue them as I don't need them anymore as I feel that what I required from antidepressants have been achieved to me. however the doctor told me that it can lead to severe Symptoms if u stop taking them. please tell me how do I discontinue them without any Symptoms.

It depends on the diagnosis given to you prior, this is a rule in guidelines that if once some one has started antidepressant, he or she has to continue for a minimum period of 6-9 months after the symptoms have remitted. I suggest you to follow your Psychiatrists advise.
Hi,good to know you are improving,,according to Prescribing guidlines if you have ist episode of depression you should continue your medication for atleast 6-9 months with regular followups and consultation from your treating Psychiatrist.
self discontinuation or tapering down dose can cause worsening/ relapse of symptoms.
regards.
Try not to discontinue, rather slowly tapper it off with advice of your psychiatrist.
Kindly consult your Psychiatrist and trust him, it is very good to know that you are better, but as he suggested not to discontinue, that would be best for now.
Regards
continue antidepressant even if ur symptoms subside .if u have any doubt then consult ur psychiatrist or to anyone u want . this mistake done by patients and then they regret it
It is important to see what was ur diagnosis bz every illness has different duration of treatmemt....secondly although u have achieved remission but if u will stop abruptly before completion of treatment, symptoms will reappear and with more severity...so kindly follow the treatmemt duration
you must take homeopathic medicine it's completely treatable after talking some medicine Kuch time ki medicine k bad AP permanentally medicine chor skty hain kindly book appointment with me
