Tapering of tryptomer
Husband and I were facing some mental health issues. So I consulted the doc for myself as he is not comfortable with psychiatry. The doctor suggested Tryptomer 25mg. Husband too started as he got better with the medicine..after 2 weeks he tapered down to 17.5mg then after 10 days to 10mg. Now, he is again facing issues in his health and lost interest in talking, walking, running etc. He is not ready to go to the doctor for the same. So, can I get the advice for him. What should I do with his medicine. Should I tell him to continue with 10mg or should he increase the mg? Please help.

First of all, these medicines are not meant to be used over the counter or without proper medical supervision. Secondly, for most mental health disorders, the doses being used are likely to be subtherapeutic and therefore may not provide an adequate therapeutic effect.
Even if you have noticed some improvement after taking them, it is difficult to attribute that improvement to a specific pharmacological effect.
Given the circumstances, a placebo effect or other nonspecific factors may be contributing to the perceived improvement.
Therefore, it is better not to self-medicate and to take these medicines only after proper assessment and guidance from a qualified psychiatrist.
