Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have been taking tablets Rexipra and Depsol for the past three years, and my doctor says I have been on them for a long time because I have had more than three episodes of depression. I have felt good for the past three years of treatment, but I also have experienced depression three or four times in the last month. The doctor advised me to take tablet Zapiz 0.5 mg daily for a week, and I am now fine. My question is whether my course of treatment is appropriate. Should I take the medication for an extended period of time? Please advise.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
I have gone through your medical history in detail. You seem to be in recovering phase. If you are feeling well now, you should discontinue the medications. Avoid using it for an extended period of time. Do not abruptly discontinue the medications. Over the course of one month, gradually reduce the dose.
I hope you get my point.
Thank you.
