HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Duzela and citadip are both anti depressants. They cannot be used together, she can be one or the other anti depressant but not both of them, it increases the risks of side effects.

If she is only on the citadip, she can continue to use it as prescribed. If the depression does not improve then the treatment can be altered.

In terms of the recurrence of her depression, this is not uncommon. In some persons it is a persistent illness requiring long term treatment.

I hope this helps
