If you are on antidepressants, you need to gradually taper off the medicines rather than stopping suddenly...if meds are stopped suddenly, the symptoms would recur. Duration of depression and the use of antidepressants is different for each and every person Regular evaluation during tapering off of medicines would help in determining how long should the medicines be used?
