Dear Saksham, All medicines have side effect including s-adimor which is natural samE. She will not get addicted to these tablets because she will not increase the dose herself. She will stop medicines as soon doctor says to stop even if she has few more tablets. She will not ask you to buy tablets without doctor's prescription. She will have withdrawal effects if stops after improvement. Depression medicines should be taken for few more months or even life term depending on what type of depression she is suffering.

Do not worry its safe her psychiatrist will slowly taper down medicine she should be on therapy too so that once medicine stops she is able to hadle her issues on her own consult with me or any psychologist for therapy and counseling online or in person all the best.

These are not medications of addiction, rather like bp or diabetes pills, in those suffering from persistent depressive disorder, needs to be taken continuously for long term, even life term. So do not worry. Advise her, not to self medicate but attend psychiatrist review regularly. Good luck.

Hello lybrate-user. Medicines should not be cut off at a sudden phase. Have a counselings session and tapping down dosage will be advised. With that natural ways to manage the illness will be taught and trained.
