No it is not addictive. It does not come under addiction category medications. More like anti diabetics or anti hypertensives, normalizes the internal milieu.but you need to follow up regularly with a psychiatrist and not self medicate the same.

Usually it would be better to taper the dose before completely stopping it so that you don't have any further disturbances

Follow-up. It does not cause "addiction" - it can cause what we call withdrawal symptoms if stopped abruptly, but if taken as a proper course it is an effective treatment for depression. Please follow-up with your prescribing psychiatrist

This drug needs to be taken under a doctor's supervision. Sometimes it causes withdrawal symptoms so better to taper this drug under a doctors supervision.

Hi there,
Drugs can cause withdrawal symptoms. These drugs are to taken under the supervision of a mental health professional.
Mental health professionals know how to start the treatment, how long to continue and when to stop the treatment .
