Dear Vishal, Since you are on a low dose of 25 mg of sensival, you can stop it fully without any withdrawal symptoms. But, you can get back your original depressive symptoms.

Take half twice for 1 week and then 1/4 th for another week and then stop, if symptoms recur, consult psychiatrist again. Else leave it. All the best.
