Hello doctor I am on antidepressants (currently  pexep 10 & betagal tr 20) from 1 & half years. But i am felling everything well from 3-4 months but I can't consult my doctor because of lockdown & some financial issues also. So I am continuously taking the above written medicines. But I am felling everything good & I want to stop the medication. Please help me into that. Can I stop this medicine immediately or I need to follow some other process? Thank you

The antidepressants need to be taken for a maintenance period in order to avoid withdrawal symptoms as well as prevent relapse.So please do not stop it on your own without consultation with a psychiatrist.Let the doctor decide if it's the right time for you to stop it or not.
Next Steps
Immediately consult with a psychiatrist without further delay
Health Tips
Opt for an online consultation if visiting a doctor in person is difficult
