Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

I think, there is no need for taking medicine for one episode more than nine months. You have already taken it for one year and now you can stop it. Clonotril plus contain escitalopram 5mg and clonazepam 0.25mg, so better to stop it gradually. If you feel sleep disturbance, then you can take on sos basis.

Thanks
