He said take 10mg for 10 days then stop. It's 17th day. After 10th day I took 5mg 4 times alternatively coz I was feeling uncomfortable so that depression should not come back. Can I stop it completely now? I have already extended 7 days. I'm getting bit depressed and anxious a bit sometimes coz of which I start taking it again. Can u plz tell me that when will.these symptoms stop?
