Yes and no: Tapering is correct, but some people may need a longer time and slower taper. discuss this with your doc about adding another week or so of 10mg taper after the 20mg as ordered. Keep,a daily log of your feelings both on and off the drug for an objective evaluation of life with and without this agent.

Agree with Dr. S: Add exercise to your routine. Moderate intensity exercise is as good as medication for mild to moderate depression. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
