Usually 6–12 months after symptoms improve; consult your doctor. If you have any further questions or need more clarity, please consult with a psychiatrist. If you`re in Texas, we welcome you to reach out to www.MidCitiesPsychiatry, we`re here to help you.

Advised to remain on full dose of antidepressant as maintenance therapy for atleast 6-9 months to prevent relapse
