HI  jkbeckwith.83. THANKS FOR YOUR QUESTION. IS IT THE FIRST EPISODE OF YOUR DEPRESSION?IN THAT CASES WE USUALLY STOP THE DRUG AFTER 6 MONTHS BUT IN CASES OF 2 OR MORE EPISODE WHAT WE CALLED RECURRENT DEPRESSIVE DISORDER WE USUALLY KEEP THE PATIENT ON DRUG FOR LIFE LONG.I THINK AS YOU DECREASES THE DOSE OF YOUR MEDICATION YOUR DEPRESSION STARING TO RELAPSE AND OTHER THING IS THAT DO YOU DCREASES THE DOSES OF DRUGS BY TAKING OPINION OF YOUR PSYCHIATRIST? I THINK YOU REDUCES THE DOSE BY YOUSELF AS WE PSYCHIATRIST WHEN REDUCES CITALOPRAM WE REDUCES 20MG TO 10 MG FOR 2 WEEKS AND THEN STOP.WE NEVER GIVE 10 MG ON ALTERNATE DAYS. SO MY OPINION PLEASE CONSULT YOUR PSYCHIATRIST FOR PROPER TREATMENT AS YOUR SYPTOMS SAYS YOUR DEPRESSION ARE AGAIN COMING. THANKS DR SOURAV GANGULY
