Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

In partial improvement, there is no need to stop the drug. I would suggest to take it for rest of life. If she tries to reduce or stop the dose, symptoms can re-appear. In that case, better to take to medicine for rest of life. In partial improvement, there is need to increase the dose rather then decrease it. Rest, you can consult with your psychiatrist.

Thanks
