If you want to stop take half the tablet for next 2 weeks and stop. If symptoms recur, consult a psychiatrist again. Good luck.

Dear Abhrajit, Since you are on the lowest dose of 5 mg Escitalopram, you need not taper. You can stop without tapering. But, 3 months may be too early to stop in case of major depressive disorder. i don't know the diagnosis for which stalopam mini was prescribed.
