It's not clear from your question how long you have been taking the above-mentioned medications. If it's your first episode of depression then the recommended guidelines ask you to take it for at least 8-9 months once your symptoms have subsided. But if you have already had multiple episodes then the medications will continue for a longer duration. The most important question from your query is your concern about taking it for a longer duration. It would be great if you can elaborate on it. Contact your nearest psychiatrist for further clarification. In case you are comfortable with online consultation feel free to book an appointment with us.

Hi lybrate-user. Medication addresses only a part of the problem- the suspected neurobiology. However, in the long term psychotherapy can be more effective. This will help delve deeper into your thoughts and behaviors that might be maintaining the anxiety. Furthermore social aspects such as family, work, personal life etc. Can contribute as well. Therapy allows for a holistic approach. Do let me know if you'd like to talk about this.

It depends on the type of depressive disorder. If it a single depressive episode then after few months the medications can be stopped. If it is going to be a persistent depressive disorder, you may have to take for a long time to come. Good luck.

Make it a habit to take care of yourself. Stretch every morning and evening. Even basic stretches can help relieve anxiety and keep you in tune with your body. Try to get at least 8 hours of sleep. You?ll feel more energized. Do something every day that makes you happy, no matter how small or large Meditate or pray or practice deep breathing in silence every day. Whichever works for you. Keep a journal. Express your feelings and keep track of the good things that happen to you there. Smile. Laughing relieves pain. Try to be happy. Just try, nothing can stop you. Get out of your room. Get out of your home. Get out of your comfort zone and work outside your normal routine. Remove negative influences from your life and recognize the ones you can?t. Everyday, take a moment to be thankful that you are alive and gracious for the blessings in your life. Don?t let yourself fall apart over the little things. They are not worth it. Drink lots of water. Eat foods like whole grains and blueberries and avoid high sugar food, caffeine, and alcohol to help with anxiety. Eat as little junk food as possible. Know that things will get better, but you have to put the effort in.
