Question

Dear Subrata,
It depends on the type of depression you are suffering. Some of them only for 6 months and some others for a long term. It depends on psychosocial situations and supports also.
Both sensival and rexipra need adjustment in dose every 2-3 weeks by the doctor.

Mr. lybrate-user, medicational help will go how long depends on many criteria as, your depression is in which state mild, moderate or severe and which type of depression you are suffering through. Usually, medications go for a minimum period of 6 months to a year. I would suggest you take counseling sessions and therapeutic help too, to overcome from your depressive phase, which will help you to get the speedy recovery and it will gradually decrease the dosage of the medicines and cured completely.

You usually need to take the medications for depression after optimization of doses of those medications for about 3 months before tapering off of them. Optimization of the dosages would mean that there is remission of symptoms of depression that you had originally and they have decreased to the point where you are currently able to function close to normal (as before the onset of depression) on a day to day basis. I recommend that you consult us here so that we can get a better picture since your concise information leaves us with a lot of thoughts about your possible current situation. Look forward to hearing from you. If you need help with booking an appointment online with me on this website either text, audio, or video appointment for a confidential and private consultation you may do so by contacting the help desk of Lybrate.
