Divalp250 is extremely small dose and hardly causes any sude effects. Dont go on to stopping or reducing medicines if they are keeping your mood on line. Your psychiatrist may start with stopping nexito ... if you wish to do so.. only after assessment of your condition.

First of all, it is important to make sure you are stable & functioning well for over a year before you start reducing medicine. It is important to time it well too when things are very settled in your life without any stresses. Keep away from alcohol & smoking. Physical health should be OK. Practice yoga, relaxation, meditation. With all these background preparation medicine should be gradually reduced while carefully monitoring mental state.
