What's the best way to go off antidepressants? i've taken them for 9yrs. tried to stop several times w/dr help and counseling. symptoms return

Antidepressant dose: You may need a low maintenance dose to keep symptoms of depression or anxiety controlled. Discuss with your prescribing doctor or psychiatrist. Many people take antidepressants long-term at the lowest possible dose for just this reason. I hope this helps.
