I was treated for severe depression last year and was prescribed Deptune Plus and Fludac 20. I have now recovered and stopped taking Fludac 20. However, whenever I try to stop Deptune Plus, I feel uneasy. How should I safely discontinue this medication?
It is common to feel uneasy when trying to stop Deptune Plus, as this may be due to withdrawal (discontinuation) symptoms or your body still adjusting, so it is important not to stop it suddenly; instead, you should consult your doctor, who can guide a gradual dose reduction (tapering) over a few weeks to prevent these symptoms and ensure your depression does not return, and since you have already stopped Fludac 20 without issues, your doctor will consider your overall recovery and decide the safest plan, while also advising you to watch for any return of low mood, anxiety, or sleep problems during the process.
