The treatment goes on for minimum 1 n half year it’s a course u will feel better but if u leave it ur symptoms will crop up again and then it will take even longer so don’t do that mistake

Hi
Medicine (antidepressants) for Depression are usually taken for 9 to 12 months. In your case ask your doctor to taper off rivotril and tolaz dt and continue Antidepressants. Because stopping Antidepressants too early can cause emergence of earlier symptoms.
hope this helps you.
Thanks and regards
