GP appointment [4]

I had another appointment with my gp this morning. Just really to see how I'm getting on with the ad's. I said to her that I'm feeling much better and don't really get upset anymore. We talked a bit about my approaching return to work and she just reassured me it's normal how I'm feeling - going between the sicky feeling and then not feeling too bad. I've not to feel like I'm taking steps backwards if I get upset/teary for a few days while I adjust to another life changing event. I've been off work for almost 14 months. Almost the past year has been spent with bug and it's going to be a huge change having to leave him for four hours, four times a week. Regarding the ad's, she wants me to keep taking them for another three months. She said normally with ppd (or any depression) ad's are normally prescribed for six months. Tomorrow's been three months since I first spoke about how I felt and started them. I asked what happens when it's time to stop, can I come right off them or is it gradual? She said a lot of people feel anxious about stopping them right away so would prefer to gradually come off them. She said this wasn't necessary so if I felt comfortable stopping completely then I could. She did say I didn't have to decide to today and can talk about it when I go back to see her again. I don't have to go back to see her until the end of April/start of May. Even though I'm comfortable taking them now (and not feeling guilty about it) I'll also be glad when the day comes that I don't have to take them anymore.
