Discontinuing antidepressants after remission

Posted by SLS on March 28, 2009, at 15:51:12

I would like to suggest that after achieving and maintaining remission using antidepressants, that the rate of discontinuation of medication be gradual. Several studies have shown that the rate of relapse is higher for those people who discontinue their medication abruptly when compared to those who taper gradually.

Does anyone have suggestions as to how long to remain on an antidepressant?
