Can I start taking the same antidepressant again 4 months after completing a withdrawal?

Yes, it is possible to restart the same antidepressant 4 months after completing a withdrawal. It is common for depressive episodes to be cyclical, and if the medication was effective and well tolerated before, it may be worth trying again. However, it might take a few weeks for the medication to start working again, and you may experience some side effects in the first 1-2 weeks. It is recommended to start with a low dose for a few days and consult with your doctor for a comprehensive approach to your health.
