Thanks for the comment,
ReplyDeleteIt is usually advised to take the medication for at least two years before thinking about stopping. Since you had depression after discontinuing it, it is recommended to take it for at least five years.
You can shift the time of the day you take the medication so it won't affect your lifestyle. For an example this medication cause insomnia for some and drowsiness in others. If this medication is causing drowsiness then you can take it in night.
Other issue with your illness is that it is recommended to avoid night shifts, because poor sleep aggravate the disease.
However, you have to balance the weight the side effects of your medication and the benefit of not having depression.
Some people may even need to take their anti depressant life long.
Hope this helps
