My Daughter Is Suffering From Depression She Is 22 Years
My daughter is suffering from depression she is 22 years old. she has been using Prozac 20mg and olepra 5 mg tablet for one year. she recovered and doctor gradually reduced the dozes and after 4 months he said now she is ok and stop medicine. After two months she is again feeling the same however, gravity of depression is comparatively less. Now we have changed the doctor and he has given one Deperal tablet 50mg at night. My question is: 1- Is Deperal is substitute of Prozac and Olepra because they were very affected. 2- She is taking Depral for the last 10 days but not much improvement, how long it will take.
