After how much time can I consider gradually stopping my antidepressant?

It is generally recommended to continue taking antidepressants for at least 6 months after your depression symptoms have disappeared to reduce the risk of relapse or recurrence in the future. For those with recurring episodes of depression, long-term treatment may be more beneficial. It is important to consult with your doctor before gradually stopping the medication. Your pharmacist can also help you create a schedule for tapering off the medication. Additionally, adopting a healthy diet, engaging in moderate-intensity exercise for at least 150 minutes per week, and considering non-pharmacological measures like sports can help manage the side effects of weight gain and anxiety. If you find that the current medication does not suit you, there are other options available that your healthcare providers can discuss with you further.
