As per research, a depressive episode should show improvement by minimum 9 months, provided it is treated adequately. And that is the recommended duration for taking medicines, when the patient is having depression for the first time. Regarding tapering of doses, it will be done gradually as per the patient's symptoms over a year. Please do not discontinue any psychiatric medicines suddenly or without supervision and always discuss openly with your psychiatrist in case of any side effects. It helps us in adjusting your doses accordingly.
