Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
VALDOXAN is used in the treatment of depression or to help prevent depression returning, and is only available with a doctor's prescription.
So what is the cause that make you stop it ?

Is it because you feel better or you feel worsen that make you stop it however you had n't the right decision when stopping the medication ,you must ad ask your doctor first whatever your reason was .

The symptoms of depression vary from one person to another, but commonly include persistent sadness, loss of interest in favorite activities, feelings of worthlessness, sleep problems, feeling of being slowed down, feelings of anxiety or changes in appetite and weight. Changes in your daily sleep and appetite patterns are examples of disturbances of your 'body clock' that occur commonly in depression.

Current experience with medications to treat depression shows that treatment for six months or longer provides the best opportunity of long-term recovery from a first episode of depression. For those who have previously had depression, a longer period of treatment will usually be recommended.

With VALDOXAN, some people experience improvements in mood and sleep within two weeks of starting treatment.
As people respond differently to medications, do not become discouraged if you do not notice a difference right away.

>>You must had continue taking VALDOXAN until your doctor had told you to stop. Even when you are feeling better, your doctor would usually continue to give you VALDOXAN for some time to help to prevent your depression from returning and that what happened with you unfortunately .

you must continue to take VALDOXAN as long as your doctor recommends you to.
You must tell your doctor if, for any reason, you have not taken your medicine exactly as prescribed. Otherwise, your doctor may think that it was not effective and change your treatment unnecessarily.

Suddenly stopping your medicine may cause your original condition to return and that unfortunately what happened with you .

This is why you must speak to your doctor if you are having any problems taking your medicine.

If you are not having any problems taking this medicine then do not stop taking it, even if you feel better, unless advised to do so by your doctor ,now you MUST CHECK AGAIN WITH YOUR DOCTOR since your condition and symptoms of sadness recur ,he will adjust the dose ,prescribe the necessary ,re-evaluate your condition and check your concerns of stopping any of your medications .

Please ,don't stop afterwards any of these medications without consulting your doctor first and telling your concerns .
