Hello! Dear Apjaladeep, I have carefully gone through your query.
The fact that your Mom is now 78, & have had CABG 14 years back, meaning she is doing exclusively well as far as the cardiac problems are concerned.
But as far as your query is concerned, she would need to continue both of her medicines as these are antidepressants, which should not be discontinued suddenly especially when she is on these drugs from last 14 years. If any one be suddenly discontinued her problems will worsen.
