First, we need to be sure of diagnosis before commenting on medications. But, at the outset. Does'nt make sense giving antipsychotics and antidepressants considering the doses in which they have been prescribed.

Hi lybrate-user, you have to take it without any breaks in between, slowly and gradually doctor will taper it. Have patient just like for bp diabetes people take medicine for lifelong same way, depression medicine is for longer duration but if depression is not that severe at some point it will be discontinued. Psychotherapy will help you a lot along with medication.

Yes he can take but only 1 tablet a day or half tea spoon if it is in powder form.
Find the cause of depression and help him overcome depression by keeping him happy, motivate him to share negative thoughts and feelings with you or with other family member.
So that he would feel relax and daily yoga and meditation is mandatory.

Yes. You can take both at night. I believe the doctor is a psychiatrist as this combination needs to be carefully used by that specialist. All the best.

Dear lybrate-user,
adding another antidepressant is warranted in certain cases. There are guidelines for its addition. One can not load himself with antidepressants however chronic it is. Please consult your psychiatrist about it. Since he is following you up for many years, he may add venlafaxine or a mood stabiliser ot therapy for psychosocial issues keeping the depression for a long time. It depends on the diagnosis.

You can get the same with a valid prescription from online pharmacies. Medical shop would always try to sell what gives him the best profit/ offers. Kindly follow the molecule which your doctor prescribed. Good luck

Dear Ishara,
Please discuss with your doctor. I don't know the diagnosis. In certain diagnosis, veniz is given for 6 months or so. In others, it may be a long term medicine. Veniz is not a last resort medicine.
