Hello - It is positive that you have recovered 90 % from depression - If there are no side effects, it will help to continue stalopam for another 6 months. If you are much better and stable after 6 months, then stalopam can be gradually tapered off - Apart from medication, lifestyle interventions like regular exercise, staying connected with family & friends will help to prevent relapse of depression. Take care.

Yes you can continue for another 2 months. Then reduce the dose of stalopam to 5 mg and continue for another 2 months. If you are still fine without any symptoms then stop the medication. If symptoms recur then you may have to continue for few more months. Gradually tapering the dose is necessary to avoid withdrawal effects. Please consult a psychiatrist for any other doubts.

Dear Sabir, Nice to know that you have recovered from depression. Please discuss with your doctor about continuing or stopping stalopam. At this age of 70 years, it is better to avoid unnecessary tablets. But few depression needs long term antidepressant.
