Dear lybrate-user, you should not take any medication by yourself. Even anybody should not do this. Different medications have different side effects. Escitalopram is also good for long term. There are some blood tests every one should do who are taking psychotropic medications. My sincere request is please don't take any medication by yourself. Thank you for your question.

Antidepressants though reduce seizure threshold are given in people with seizure disorder having anxiety, depression and ocd. If there is a recent seizure in the past 2 years, they are given under the cover of an anti epileptic, else not. Else it is a safe medicine and you can follow your psychiatrist advise. It will take approx 4 weeks to see the effects though, so be patient. Good luck.

Sertraline can be taken once a day only. Side effects of the medications can be googled. More common side-effects are more acidity, sleep and sexual problems. No medicine is taken for such a long duration. Consult your psychiatrist on regular basis.

75% of patients who have recovered from the 1st episode of depression relapse. It's likely that you are developing depression again. The medicine that has worked for you in the past would definitely work even now. You can restart sertraline. It's advisable that you do that under your psychiatrist's supervision. Do complete the course.

Hi I will prescribe some harmless but effective flower remedy available in homoeopathy shops. Try to buy original medicines.
Mix 3 drops of mimulus + 3 drops of rock rose + 3 drops of aspen. Mix these with 100 ml water and drink it every morning and night.(same dose).
Do not stop your allopathic medicines. Ask your doctor whether he can taper it down if you feel alright.
