Depression treatment ending (50mg)
Good evening sir,
Today my tablets completed (set 100mg) for depression treatment so please tell sir what i will do to next day continue to that dose or take 50mg
Hello.
If you have completed the entire course recommended for that treatment (6 to 9 months), you can reduce the doses gradually after discussing with your prescribing doctor.
Stopping the medicine suddenly is not recommended. Even reducing to 50 mg may lead to some effects (discontinuation symptoms). The dose has to be reduced by a little amount over a period of several weeks.
Until you meet your doctor, you may please continue with the current doses.
Next Steps
If your Depression symptoms have gone away or reduced significantly, you may discuss a plan for tapering the doses, with your doctor.
