From how long u r using these ?did u ever stopped these medications ? Since he long u r symptom free ?number of episodes ?these are few basic question which will decide about it.pls consult some psychiatrist , he will assess u in detail to reach some conclusion to tapper off drugs.Thanx
If you have symptoms since 2014 and having still issue after stoping it that means that means you should continue it . But take proper consultation with your psychiatrist so he will decide after proper history. Cause sometimes the relapse is more harmful for persons.
aoa dear.you should decide after consulting your treating psychiatrist. you should not stop by yourself.thanks
must be evaluated in detail first
Assalamalaikum
yes it is possible but I will have to work hard with you to get out of medicine and you will recover but you just need to get my online appointment as soon you get due to rush.
Hi,
There are two modes of treatment medical and psychological,
And if both are taken side by side, the need for medicine would decrease with time.
Consulting a psychiatrist who also does psychotherapy would be better for you.
And it would very well be possible to discontinue medicine with time.
Regards
yes there is bulk of patients who are now living healthy life without medics for long time..But Mood disorder is higly relapsing means it comes time and again.And once you get full pledge treatment for suffucient time and you are symptoms free for more than 1 year months then trial of stopping treatment can be made..moreover mood disorder is psychological disorder like any other physical disease eg Hypertention which would also need long term therapy.if we can take long term treatment for hypertion,diabetes then why not for mood disorder...
