Psychiatrist,  's  Response
HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic

In reactive depression, there is no need to take encorate chrono, so you can stop it gradually by decreasing it 250mg per week. Better to take zosert 100mg for 6 to 9 months. After that, termination of treatment depends upon symptoms. Rest, you can discuss with your psychiatrist and in case, you need my help, you can ask.

Thanks
