I'm taking rexipra 10 and zolent plus since 2015. They cured my depression within a week. But after that I didn't consult my doctor because I thought I am cured and didn't leave taking medicines fully. After one or two year I did my dose half .thrice in a week .later twice in a week because I didn't want to go back in depression. But now I have stopped to take dose. Because it was no so effective for last 6 months. But now i'm feeling the same or. What should I do now?

Reduction of medicines should always be done by a psychiatrist. It has to be professionally managed to avoid withdrawal effects and to taper the medication as per your symptoms and duration of use. Kindly revert back to yoru doctor and let him decide as to what has to be done now. In the meantime I recommend that you seek the help of a counselor to know skills and techniques that will help you deal with the adaptations during your ordeal. And if you want to reduce or come off of your medication, it is ideally done with some therapy too. Perhaps you may have avoided this relapse too if you were in therapy.
